2007 Corolla - Manual Transmission Problem - Help

[joelbecerra182]

So I have a 2007 corolla ce with manual transmission, and I recently (3 months ago) put a brand new clutch kit. But just yesterday my trans keeps popping out of 4th gear, what could it be??

Bent shifter fork most likely.

Its weird cuz if i hold it, in it works fine, but if i let it go and rev over 3000rpm it just pops out 8(, just hoping its not the tranny.

If you shift very aggressively, over time you will bend the shifter forks. When that happens, the synchro isn't held into the coupling as tight as it should be, and any torque will pop the coupling back to the neutral position. Take it easy on the car until you can get the transmission looked at, but I'd be willing to bet good money that is the issue since our shifters are cable actuated and not directly bolted in.
