I have a 2001 Hyundai Elantra and when I get on freeway and shift gears when in 5th I have to hold gear shift. If so, is this expensive to repair?

A little grind, but it won't stay in 5th gear without me holding the whole time.

If it only grinds going into 5th gear then you have a issue with the 5th gear syncronizer/gear itself.
