Sticking the t-case in N takes the load of 5th gear. I'm thinking 5th gear is wore out, in which case, I'd rebuild the entire transmission.

Exclamation

when mine did this it was due to improper shimming sounds like **** is wore out and your getting a little slack the reason you only have a prob with fith is due to the load and speed that is put on the tranny a rebuild is cake read this https://www.dieselbombers.com/1st-ge...de-getrag.html
