Talking
Say more about this. Any and all conditions or just in certain situations?

Any other gear related issues?

Unhappy
I feel a dealership visit on your horizon. Tool Pants any ideas? It sounds like one of your syncros are f-ed up.

I agree with Adam. If the other gears are fine and you cannot engage 5th only, I would vote for a bad synchro. If so, try to find a rebuilt tranny and a competent but inexpensive mechanic.
