Re: 5-speed "deep thoughts..."

Your problem is simply lack of horsepower. (Low end torque, actually.) If you wind it out in 4th how fast are you going? Try really buzzing it in 4th so you shift to 5th at a HIGHER RPM. There's nothing wrong with5th gear. It can't slip. Your clutch can, though. If the clutch slipped in 5th, your rpm's would keep increasing while speed stayed the same.
You just don't have enough grunt to pull 5th at a low rpm. Report back, OK?
