5th gear nut kicks my butt in PA

While towing a 26 ft car trailer with a 12.xx sec subaru on it I lost my 5th gear nut!!! man I am glad I read TDR cuz I knew what it was right away & knew it was safe to continue in 4th. 350 miles still to go and i limped it in 4th the rest of the way......BIG HUGE SUPER DUPER thanks to Chris at Beaver Springs PA Dodge for staying 4 hours after closing to finish the job & get me back on the road! Just made it home & i am glad i had 5th gear....I got the upgraded nut that is saposed to not come back off....anyone ever have one of the new nuts back off after being installed?
