    As in there feels like an obstruction? the gear lever feels lame? gears grinding when attempting? can it be selected when stationary?

    in addition to the other contributions, as you engage 5th the reverse gear inhibitor slides in place (drops out when you select neutral) if this is broken you would not be able to select 5th. But, just guessing without more information.
