4runner transmission wont stay in reverse

i have a 4runner i think its a '89, 5 speed that keeps popping out of reverse. as soon as you start letting out the clutch and it gets pressure on it it pops out. it dosent come all the way out tho. it dosent go to neutral. tryed holding it in but does nothing to help. it just started doing it one day. i thought it might be a bent shifting fork or somthing so tore the shifter off and no forks. any help??
