Default 2.5XTE 5 speed manual

Hi, can anyone please give me some advice about my 2006 Cat D Forester with genuine 7,000 miles. It had front damage (surprise!) which lifted and pushed back the engine 2 or 3 inches.
It jumps out of 5th gear with great force after being run at motorway speeds for 20 miles or so and does so continuously every few seconds until I stop and let it cool again.
I can run it around at 60mph without it happening at all.
Gears engage without problem and feel solid enough, but it's not possible to hold the gear in place when it goes.
The oil has never been changed and there are no signs of a leak
Thanks
