I believe there is a nut that backs off, causing R and 5th to go kaput. Pretty easy fix the way I understand it. Someone can give a little more detail as how to fix it.

who is doing the trans work? sounds like something is being missed. look up 5th gear nut fixes and you should find lots of info on this.
