Default 1990 CQ keeps popping out of 4th gear

It just started happening all of the sudden. Sometimes it stays in, other times it won't. Usually pops out immediately when I get on the power/let out the clutch. But like I said, sometimes it does nothing and works fine. Any ideas?

Is this something I could possibly do on my own? Degree of difficulty? The german import shop near my house kinda bullied and burned me the last time I went so now I'm very hesitant to go back to them (read: I would like to avoid going to them at all costs)

And thanks for the quick reply!

Also, I found something kind of conflicting. http://www.wcengineering.com/articles/popout.html "The truth is, the synchronizer rings have absolutely nothing to do with a transmission staying in a gear or popping out of a gear. Synchronizers only function is to "spin up" the gears as the engagement hub approaches the gear. "

Just food for thought, I suppose
