WTF happened to 5th gear?
 

I was driving home from work today. Running about 45 mph down a hill
in 5th gear. All of a sudden I realized that I had no drive in 5th
gear. No noise, no vibration, nothing.
1st-thru4th work fine, reverse works fine. As I said, no funny
sounds, puddles of oil, vibrations or any other symptoms.
You can move the shifter from neutral into 5th with the engine running
and without putting your foot on the clutch.
I'll tear into it on Sunday I guess, but maybe it'll be something
simple. Yeah, right.
