5th gear problems please help (and i have searched)
so last night i was driving on the highway and missed the shift into 4th gear. now the car will not stay in 5th gear at all, as soon as i put any pressure on the gas pedal it jumps out of gear in neutral. i am very mechanically inclined and can work on it. i am just wondering if if i broke some teeth of the gear or if i bent a fork or messed the syncros up??? anyone have any ideas? oh ya its an 01 with 73k on it.... please help.

Could you post a little more detail. Figure that will help people in providing suggestions. Were you down-shifting from 5th to 4th? or upshifting from 3rd to 4th?
Did you have the clutch all in? Did you rev-match if down shifting? Did you shift too fast when upshifting?

i was shifting from 3rd to 4th at 8800rpm (quick shifting) the clutch was all the way in. i now noticed that i can put it in 5th gear and it will stay in till i add any gas...

There is a TSB out there to rectify the issue. You will have to regrease the shifter.
That TSB info is on the site but I believe is only available to members. You could alternatively talk to your dealer and ask for a goodwill consideration.
Check this out if you are mechanically inclined

thanks for the info. I pulled apart the shifter and reset it, and found something about forcing it into gear while the motor is off. did that and now its back to normal.
