R, 1, 2, 3, 4 works great. But when i am in highway driving 90km to 120km and trying to switch to 5th gear. I have a strange problems.
When Engine is running live: - from 4th dragging straight to 5th brings me to 3rd
When Engine is not running car is stopped moving 4th to 5th gear never fails.
Pilot check: always made sure the clutch was 100% pushed while moving / changing gears.
What might be the reason?
A driving technique question - you need to make sure that you move across as well as up when changing from 4th to 5th. This was a common error causing exopensive damage on some cars when 5th gear was "new"...
My Mustang is loaded towards the 3-4 shift. The shifter must be positively moved left for a 1-2 shift and to the right for the shift into 5th.
A little practice may solve the problem.
As Paulster2 and finleyarcher mentioned in the other comments, there are some mechanical issues that can cause that.
However, as Solar Mike noted, technique can also cause this.
The distinguishing questions are "is the car new" and "have you always had this issue shifting 4th to 5th with this vehicle or is this a new problem?"
I've driven some manual cars that were very picky about the shifter being operated with very distinct, separate, actions, and I've driven some that didn't care too much. If this is a new issue, then it's probably from mechanical wear. If you're the original owner and you've had problem since the beginning, then it's most likely a technique problem.
