There's a clip that retains the gear.  When it breaks it doesn't allow the use for 5th gear.  It's a fairly common problem when lugging the engine in 5th.  You're option would be to rebuild your existing tranny, replace it with a salvage or swap it.

I have also seen the syncronizers go out on the trannie, and that will cause you to lose a gear.. Or at least it will not go into that gear .. Has happened to me and a few others who I wheel with. It will grind really bad when you try to put it into that gear...

That happened to my tranny 3 years ago and I'm still driving it everyday, I just don't use 5th gear. No metal fileings in the fluid and no strange noises or anything. Can't use 5th anyway with bigger tires and the 2.5L

I've never had the problem myself but from all of the people I've been hearing it comes from lugging the engine in 5th.  It doesn't like the beating it gets from being lugged, I guess.  I'm always reving the snot out of mine, LOL!

The clip holding 5th gear on the shaft generally breaks from a hard shift from 4th to 5th and bad synchros.  I drove one for a long time after broken with no problems, but the broken clip will be in the bottom of the tranny, to heavy to really float around (but if it does) :roll:

You can replace the clip, easy to get to once the case halves are split.  It'll only do it again if the clip groove is damaged or the syncrhos are bad.

Anybody that doesn't know it, do not run the factory recommended GL5 rated gear oil in the AX5 or AX15, the high sulfer content will eat the soft brass syncrhos and your gear oil will come out like brass glitter.  If you've got hard shifting, put in Redline MT90 before it's too late.
