5th gear???
What could be the problem if you can't get 5th gear you just get a lot of vibration through the gear knob? And yet every other gear and reverse work fine?
Re: 5th gear???
Check the side of your gearbox.
This happened to me and my car had spat out fifth, along with the
'end cap' of the gearbox

What would I be looking for?

Get under the car from the passenger side and look up, you should see the end of the gearbox.
If there's a dirty great big hole in the side, you have problems.

Re: 5th gear???
Okay i have an update.
My car has decided it wants to go into 5th and hay it works i have been driving it in 5th.

Problem! It wont stay in 5th it pops out, i have to hold it into 5th for it to stay.
At least now its going into 5th instead of getting vibration through the gear stick.

Does anyone know how i can fix this problem?

Thanks, Mathew.
