The teeth are worn on 5th gear. take the gear out, turn it around and get another 190k out of it

Many years ago a mate had a CF Bedford van that kept jumping out of top gear but one day found that if he hung his bag of apples (his lunch) over the gear knob it didn't do it any more. So my solution for you is go and buy a bag apples.or banana's.at least with banana's if it doesn't work you can throw them inside the gearbox.that might work eh!

Check that the lever isnt touching the floorpan, or very close to it, when in fifth. It can sometimes be worn engine mounts causing the engine to rock a bit and make the lever hit the floorpan, knocking it out of gear.

could allways change your gear knob to 4 speed

Jumping out of 5th gear is a common fault in early primera's

Very common in the Pulsar / Primera gearbox.The car isn't worth much, so your best bet is buy a second hand gearbox and hope for the best.

LOL. Are you sure it wasn't a CAV Bedford (pre CF with sliding doors), they had a 3 speed colum change and the apples would have worked a treat.
