Question !HELP! gear jumping out of 4th gear

i have 03 lancer evo8 with the 5sp trans
the gear wouldnt stay in 4th gear and just jumping out to neutral
it actually goes in to 4th and stay there unless i give a gas and it just pops out
and i also noticed the 3rd gear is also trying to do that like it moves up and down lil bit as i gas it and let off
anybody had this problem before?
im trying to get some kinda idea of what you guys think before i take the tranny all apart
thank you!

You need a transmission rebuild.

Shep is a guy who fixes them, and does excellent work.
