Fifth gear work synchro

Im having problems with 5th gear. you are able to get it into gear but as soon as you lift the clutch it pops out of gear with a grind and over revs. is it the synchro or could it be that the gearbox oil is low as there was a oil leak which the previous owner informed us about. thanks

My saab 9-3 convertible yr 98 wont go into 5th gear

Sounds like inside the gearbox As its 2gears i would be looking at these problems first. Fifth and reverse are on same shaft 1) clutch fault 2) lay shaft broken or bearing carrier. Collapsed 3)synchro blocker rings worn

The fifth gear is not working

that would be your transmission, that is at fault. Probably a bad synchro-gear, try double clutching into 5th. If you can get into 5th that way then it is a bad synchro and you need a new transmission/rebuild.

In my 1995 Nissan 200sx ser it doesn't wanna go in

Not sure about popping out of reverse. But 5th gear pop out is a problem on these, nissan never had a recall, but they offer a slightly altered version of the 5th gear that is available. Go read up at nissanforums there's a lot there, pics and all, even a petition to Nissan for everyone who's had the same problem, me included.

Clutch or transmision

have it inspected, codes may be stored to help in diagnosing. an engine issue could cause this if a sensor is bad.

Jumps out of 5th gear on the highway

Either you have a worn shift fork and fifth is not fully engaging or the synchro for that gear is worn Both are internal and if fork is worn I suggest you have synchro replaced as well..

5th gear with 1996 VW Polo

hi mandy
im dave
if it only revs when you put it in 5th gear then it is not in fifth gear. it may look like it but it is not. try moving the gear selector from fourth into neutral releasing the clutch fully then applying the clutch and initiating fifth gear. if that does not work try placing it into one of the other gears first without releasing the clutch and then selecting fifth.
you should be fine driving in four gears as long as you dont travel on the audobahn or at speeds like your on the audobahn. Just watch your redline. try not to go past it. i think it is actually better for your car to drive at higher revolutions than lower as it cleans out your combustion chamber of carbon. on the other hand it is ******* your engine to drive in the red line constantly.
but 3000 rpm in 4th gear probably has you driving 130km/hr (82mph) which should be sufficient and your redline probably does not start until somewhere between 4-5k
