see yah <3 jen

 

It's not so bad, at least they're gonna fix a mechanical problem ... Not an accident issue.

 

my only problem with the 5th gear area has been when i was in 5th went to 6th and the shifter wouldnt move i double clutched it and it worked but was stiff shifting and i took it in to the dealer and got the usual couldnt reproduce issue

 

sounds like its definitely your syncros. hope everyhing goes well for you once you get the car back.
you might want them to perform the TSB 55 while they're at it.

 

First time hearing about problems with 5th gear. Did the clutch disengage properly? Mine has a bad clutch, I can sit at a light and just press the clutch in/out and watch my idle speed varying from 900rpm-500rpm sometimes.

Mine has a 4th gear pop-out problem while crusing, saw a thread here that says a new TSB is released for this problem. Let us know how your fix goes, would like to know if this could become a TSB in the future, if clutch wasnt the problem.

Good luck to you.

 

Just found this thread 5th gear defect

 

hmmmmm......thanks for the 5th gear link, and no there isnt anything weird with the clutch it is just the gear. also sometimes first i have to fight with it to get it in the gearbox. today i couldnt even put the shifter into 5th. i am gonna bring her in tomorrow morning, so i will let yah guys know whats goin on. talk later
