You need to pull the trans and rebuild it ( replace the shifter sleave/fork ). If it's a front wheel drive model you can pick up a cheap used one (same part as in the Corolla). Unless you do a lot of highway driving or the Toyota is otherwise in great shape, I would just drive it without 5th gear since it's so old.

I have a 1999 Toyota Corolla. Last year, my Dad was driving it when 4th gear kept popping out and he eventually had to physically hold it in gear. Now it can no longer shift into 4th gear, even whil

Most likely it's missing transmission oil. Instead of holding it in, he should have checked the level of oil and added some if needed. Now the transmission is probably damaged and the repair will be much more than just adding oil. Sorry.

Lost 5th gear manual trans 96 ford probe

Unfortunately it sounds like a transmission rebuild. Manual transmission use syncronizers to allow the gears to mesh correctly when sifting. When it "pops" out of gear, it may have been a bent shift fork or a chipped gear, but now it sounds like it's sheared. You can remove the drain plug and see if the oil is contaminated with metal shavings to confirm.

What would be causing gears to pop out. At first it was 3rd and 5th gears. I changed the clutch now it wont take 4th at all and 5th continues to pop out (must hold it in) 3rd doesn't pop anymore but grinds...

You probably need to rebuild the transmission, and look for gears that have been damaged, synchronizers that have failed, and worn parts in general.
The clutch has no bearing on whether the tranny slips out of gear.

Rav4 gear problem

You need a new 5th gear- luckily this is easy to replace- I did it myself following online directions for 5th gear replacement. The 5th gear is not in the box with the other gears- its off to the side so you can access it very easily by removing the left front wheel. Just don't let the idler assembly come apart, lots of tiny parts and springs...
The 5th gear can ware out prematurely if you rest your hand on the shifter- do not rest your hand on the shifter in the future.
