I'm guessing you have a '79? It makes a difference...

You have the G31 transmission, similar to the 915 in air-cooled 911's. You can't force the shift with these, even when not worn out. Here's a place to get what you need (dogteeth first gear, may as well get 1,2,3 if rebuilding tranny). The rear shift coupling bushings wear out on these as well. Not sure that applies to gear popping out. Mainly getting it into gear. I replaced the bushings on a similar coupler on my 911, and it improved the shift capabilities, not holding it in gear.
