Falling out of fifth, My car goes from 5th to neutral by itself Options

[aslearvert]

Hi guys,

I've been having a problem with my car lately. It shifts into every gear just fine. And it will stay in every gear just like normal except for fifth. If I let my foot off the gas really quickly while I'm in fifth gear, it will fall out of gear and go into neutral. If I keep pressure on the gas pedal, or let of the gas slowly when I want to slow down, it will stay in fifth just fine. I have heard that this might be because I have low transmission fluid, which is entirely possible because I have never checked it or had it flushed, and I'm not sure if the owner before me did. I've also heard that it may be a synchro in the tranny. Please let me know what you guys think. Thanks very much!

Well, its your synchros if you shift into gear and it pops out right away. Since you can shift into gear and it will stay until you let off then I'm not too sure. If you think you're low on gear oil why won't you check it. Its the huge bolt on the upper part of the tranny. stick your finger in there and if you can feel gear oil then you aren't low.
