5th gear weird problem

[Shoken7]

some advice or recommendation to fix this weird phenomenon ?

i can engage 1-4th gear with no problem
but when it comes to the 5th gear , after engaging the gear for a few seconds,
the gear will pop out by itself and goes to neutral
if i hold it down with my hand on the 5th gear, it can go on w/o problem

everytime i let go the gear knob on 5th gear , it goes back to neutral
what could have caused this problem?

i've done some reading and research

possible reasons i've read are

1.) gear box fluid is low
2.) Shift cable is corroded at the transmission
(replace cable bushing if corroded or replace the
transmission case housing, 1-2 shift fork, 2nd gear set,
1st gear, and 5th gear.)

does that mean my whole gear box has to be replaced?

3.) syncros worn out?

ic....thanks..
i remember some mech quoted me rm500-700 few years ago for a syncro
is that a right price? or kena potong? :S

yup no.3 is the answer

happened at my proton just recently(mileage >200k), replaced the parts n it cost me around rm300 :) . Hope can last another 200k...hahaha

honda may be a bit expensive...i dunno.

If new about that range....
If got mech friends good condition 2nd hand should do the job also and less $$$
But to bring down gearbox also labor charge of Rm1xx...
