5th gear finally went on me this morning.
It started popping out a few weeks ago, and I had been nursing it along using a bungee cord to hold the shifter in place when cruising along in 5th gear. But this morning, it wouldn't stay in 5th gear w. the bungee cord or me holding the shifter in place. Put it in 5th, put enough pressure on the shifter where my veins were popping out, breathe on the gas pedal and watch the rpms climb.
