Can you get the frt. of you car in the air ? If you can access the underneath of your vehicle, ck. the end cover of your trans. , if there is an oil leak around your end cover, you could be losing 5th gear. 5th gear is higher up than all the other gears & if the end cover or if there is a trans. leak anywhere for that matter, 5th gear is the 1st to go. You may be able to replace the 5th gear assy. w/out removing the trans. . When you remove the end cover, it's right there. Might have to remove trans. mount bolt & lower engine/trans. to remove the assy. from the shaft. Good Luck. I hope it's smoehing much easier. I have done several of 5th gears though, so I thought I would send ya the info.
