What would be causing gears to pop out. At first it was 3rd and 5th gears. I changed the clutch now it wont take 4th at all and 5th continues to pop out (must hold it in) 3rd doesn't pop anymore but grinds going in.

You probably need to rebuild the transmission, and look for gears that have been damaged, synchronizers that have failed, and worn parts in general.
The clutch has no bearing on whether the tranny slips out of gear.

I have a 1999 Nissan frontier 2.4 5 speed transmission it will only go in first and second gear will not go into 3rd 4th or 5th or reverse clutch seems fine what's the problem

Hello. It seems the 'shift fork' is either 'misaligned' and/or 'bent' in 3rd, 4th, 5th and REVERSE. It's, also, possible those gears are 'stripped' on their shaft(s); making driving that truck, in those gears, impossible. Good luck and keep me informed; if you want to.

My 2000 Nissan Xterra will not go into 3rd 4th or 5th gear

In the installation of a new clutch in most instances it is necessary to remove the gear lever from inside the vehicle . Check that you have the end of the gear lever actually situated in the groove that lines up all the shift rails as you may have placed the end outside the groove and can move only one rail. You have given no indication of a clutch problem at this stage so I am sure that is where the problem will be.

the shift linkage may need to be adjusted a bit or the shift forks and engaged gears for 4th and 5th may have worn enough that they need to be inspected and fixed.
