Nv4500 pops out of 4th

Ive been pulling my 5 speed for a year now and never had this happen. I love my 4th gear launch.
 
Does it pop out under full load or say when your letting off the throttle? Could be a few things. The plastic shift fork bushings could be gone, wore out so the shift hub is not fully engaging. The teeth on the synchro hub have a dual taper. One angle for going into gear and a backcut taper to keep it in gear. After a lot of wear from Pullin g clutches and rough shifting it can wear the teeth flat so it will fall out of gear.

Thats my bet. If you dont want to fix it, take a heavy tarp strap and hold it in place during the run.
