'89 B2 manual trans. problem

My 1989 B2 has the 5-speed manual trans. When I shift into 4th gear it will pop back out of gear before I let the clutch out only if I don't keep my hand on the shifter. I do know the throwout bearing is going because of the noise I hear from the trans. I'm not sure if that would cause the shifter to pop out of 4th. The vehicle does have 200,500 miles on it and is still the original tranny. Maybe it's just getting worn out?

The oil level should be fine. I haven't put many miles on it since I last changed the oil about 2-3 years ago and there isn't any noticable leaks anywhere. As far as getting into gear, no problems there. The shifter goes into each gear just fine.

Would anyone happen to know if there is a rebuild kit for this tranny?
