Have a question about my transmission. 5th gear has stopped working out of no where but the rest of the gears work just fine. What could be the issue?

You probably need a new 5th gear set. Is it low on fluid? I've seen a lot of damaged 5th gears from running low on oil.

you may have stripped it out. I stripped mine out driving down the road, but mine locked the entire transmission up. If you look up the definition of explosion, you'll see a picture of my 5th gear in it. Thing LITERALLY exploded. Could also be a synchro as well. Will it stay in fifth gear when you put the stick in fifth? and can you easily put it in fifth?
