Hi Scott,
Yes i did alot of diagnosis to come to a solution. What i found was with the rear trasfer case of so you have full view of 5th gear get in the car and select 5th, in my case you could tell the 5th sleeve was not fully engaging 5th gear dog teeth probably only 60%.
I tried everything from reseting layshaft endfloat with thicker c clips to replacing all hubs sleeves synchros and 5th fork in 5th and heavier detent spring which did not solve the issue.
What i did was take the shift fork out put it in the hydraulic press and press small amounts (puting back in gearbox) until the sleeve engaged the 5th hub all the way if you go to far on the press it will bind going into 5th so just press back the other way alittle at a time
This has 100% solved my issue, i honestly do not understand why they don't fully engage. I checked over everthing and all clearences and could not get it to engage 100% without bending the shift fork.
You could say the shiftfork caused the issue over years of wear and tear but a new shift fork had the same issue until i bent it to use the full hub teeth.
