Really rough 5th gear. AP1
I've recently noticed that my 5th gear is feeling very rough when I shift into it or shift out of it. 6th seems to feel a little rough as well. It's not just notchy like the other gears. It actually requires a considerable amount of force to get out of the gear.
Anyone know what might be causing this?

I got the car used, but I was told that it was changed not long before I got it about 3k miles ago. That may be something to look into though.
I skip gears when I am merging or something because I v-tec it on the on ramp then go to 6th at like 80, it used to grind when I did it fast, but if I let the rpms drop to the right place, it goes right into gear and there isn't a problem.

Mine use to do this. It went away after a while. I misshifted when I was getting onto the highway and it was a major PITA for a week or so. I just kept forcing it into 5th and 6th and have had no issues since. This was about 2 years ago.

Mine always does that if I'm at the track and use all the lower gears over and over but never get to 5th. By the time I leave the track it won't even go into 5th but after a few days of going up to 6th 5th gear will come back.

Ok. This makes me feel better. I got the car used and I was worried that something was wrong with it. I did drive it pretty hard at our meet of the midwest cruise, so that might have done it.
