I have a W58 gear box (5 speed) and it is jumpin out of 1st and 4th gear.My question is, on ebay I found a shifter rebuild kit for a W58. Does anybody know if rebuilding the shifter would fix this problem or am I just wasting money!!! Please help

Probably wasting your time. Popping out of gear is usually a sign of a worn out syncronizer. This requires a complete teardown to replace.
