My car has decided that its not a big fan of 4th gear anymore. As im driving in 4th sometimes it throws it self out of gear. I was thinking throw out bearing? any other ideas out there.

Yeah, I have the B&M ripper and when I first installed it, I put it in the most rearward position and it hopped out of 4th. I took it apart and switched the spacers around, now it's much quieter and engages all gears. I only had it like that for about 2 days. If this is the case, switch it around NOW, or you'll jack your tranny up!
