reverse in 87 Golf GT jumps out of gear and grinds

My 87 Golf GT jumps out of reverse and grinds. It will engage and then when you back up a foot or so it will jump out.Has anybody had this problem and figured out how to fix it? I'm trying to figure out if I need to replace the shifter,linkage, or if it's inside the gearbox.Any help would be appreciated.
