Weird transmission problem

[guilio2008]

I read some of the post on the gearbox and I'm not ruling out that option. Here is my situation. This morning, I was driving on the highway in 5th. I pushed the clutch in, when to downshift, it pulled out of fifth, but wouldn't go into any other gear. So I put it back in fifth, then coasted to a stop. When I stoped, I let the clutch out and it stalled while out of gear. Started it back up, it would go into any gear fine, drove down the road, back into fifth, same thing, It would come out of 5th, but not into any other gear. I tested it this afternoon and I can stay in 1st to 4th shift normally, but when I go into 5th, I have to take it out of fifth, let the clutch out, I noticed that the rpms would increase slight, almost like if the clutch plates were stuck alittle and needed loosen up, then I can shift into any gear with no problems. Also, I noticed that sometimes, if I'm stopped and I put it in first, the car would lock up meaning if I let off the break, the car wouldn't move if I was on a slight hill. I also noticed shifting is alittle harder. Any ideas? clutch cable stuck? maybe gearbox selector?

Thanks,

Do the usual checks:-

5th gear pull off check. (checks for a worn clutch)
take the selector off and check the cam hasn't caused the issue.
check the gear cables for cracking, often hard to see but mess your gear changes up
Take the gear box end cover off, and check the 5th gear selector and the asscoiated nut.

Let us know what you've done to date

I have this problem as well now. All the same symptoms but changing through 1, 2, 3, and 4 is not easy. If I change into fifth then I lose them all but with a little coaxing can get back into gear.
Same stalling problem when the clutch is released.
I replaced the gear change cables for the AB Motorsport ones about 18 months ago so pretty certain it is not a problem with the cables.
Clutch travel seems normal and car has only done 42,000 miles.
HELP PLEASE!!
