First things first; Don't try putting it into 5th anymore. It could be a 5th gear syncro amoung many other things. For the time being don't put it into 5th as it might get stuck or even drive the car unless it's completely neccassary. I would take it to a transmission shop ASAP to have them inspect it. More than likely you will need to rebuild it especially if it does it all the time. Rebuilding a trans typically costs between $900- $1,400 depending on the shop and the extent of the repairs.
