So my 79 Spider transmission likes to kick out of 4th gear, what am i looking for to be the cause of this, is there a 4th gear syncro in here? any help is much appreciated.

Thanks!

again im just guessing
the selector fork gets worn down so it can get all the way in gear

You have to take the trans apart and check the components. It could be a worn 4th gear (input shaft), the slider sleeve (synchro sleeve), the shiftfork, or a combination thereof.
