You mean it pops out of 5th? If you hold it in, does it work? I have a friend who used to carry a 2x4 with him, to jam it between the stickshift and his seat so it wouldn't pop out

In a nutshell, your 5th gear synchronizer has failed. You either need a rebuild, or it may be cheaper to get a used transmission put in. Sorry for the bad news
