89 KA tranny problem

[Big Zee]

ok, so I was driving home last night and went to shift from 4th to 5th and it wouldn't let me

it works for 1st -4th and reverse, grind a little in 3rd and 4th but not too much and not daily just once inna while
but I cant get it into 5th even if the car is turned off, clutch pressed in all the way rev matching, you name it I tried it

what do you guys/gals think ?

so far I've heard 4spd swap, and or bad 5th gear syncro

that's funny, the EXACT same thing happened to me last weekend. i picked up a new tranny a few days ago though so im going to be swapping it in soon. i also have no idea what happeend, but i assume that something went bad internally.

yea tomorrow im just gonna throw away the coilover moeny and getta new trans, the clutch is new I just need to swap the throwout bearin ( they reused the stocker when they did the clutch swap )

all in all a trans swap is about 2-3 hrs right ?
