go with the SS, I had an old set of steel ones blow on a pick up, not fun down shifting and using the parking brake to make it home. The cost is not that much more.

Do you have an Auto Trans? There's a bushing on the shifter that I had replaced that can cause it to slip out of gear. It usually goes into reverse and who knows why it will end up?

I hope this helps, it you have a manual, then that won't be the cause of it.
