That happened to me a couple of times recently when I was having all kinds of shifting problems. When I replaced my clutch cable yesterday I found the old one would barely move. If your cable is old like mine maybe it's hanging up like like my old one.

~O~

Usually it pops out because the gears aren't completely engaged.
Not pulling up with a firm shift can cause this, I call it lazy shift.
This can happen with heal/toe shifters also. Check the shifter is moving completely.
If the clutch is adjusted properly and otherwise working right I'd look for a bent shift fork. This is not very common.

I was having that problem with a BMW once until I learned I wasn't shifting right....when I am shifting up I now load the shifter and then do a quick squeeze of the clutch lever....going down the same.....load the shift letter than a snap squeeze of the clutch...works smooth as butter and I always have a positive engagement of gears...
