Ford Falcon: Popping out of gear

The five-speed gearbox in my 2005 Falcon XR6 pops out of second and fourth when slowing down to about 20 to 30 km/h. Ford said they had never heard of this, and suggested it might be a worn clutch, but the clutch doesn't slip or seem worn by the pressure through the pedal. Can I have your advice as the clutch kit is around $850 and I don't want to waste money replacing it if it isn't the problem?

I would get another opinion, as I doubt it is the clutch. I reckon it's wear in the gearbox itself.
