  1. Shifter stops
  2. Shift fork pads
  3. Synchro keys/springs

Yeah one of those three is definitely on it's way out. I've got the same issue but it only happens on occasion when I'm off the throttle, so I just hold it there to keep it from popping out. That's how I "fixed" mine, haha.

They may have just installed all new synchro rings, and now you need a 3-4 synchro assembly (hub/sleeve).
