Do I need to replace the gearbox on my Nissan X-Trail?

My 2007 2.2 Nissan X-Trail keeps popping out of sixth gear when I accelerate. I can maintain speed for a little while but any acceleration I have to hold it in or it jumps out. Is it worth fixing, or is this a new gearbox job?

If you are lucky, it'll be a worn-out shifter spring (which is a cheap fix).

If you are unlucky, it'll be a transmission synchro and that will be an expensive gearbox rebuild or replacement.
