An annoying issue has arrose with my collie, shes struggling to go into 5th. Sometimes, its no problem at all, and sometimes u need to be quite firm and give the stick a wiggle to get it to go into gear. Its very intermitent and does it when it wants to.

Has anyone come across this before? Im hoping its not going to be too expensive, maybe a bush or something? Or maybe just needs an oil change? All other gears are fine
 
I would start with an oil change (maybe an 80W90 oil instead of a straight EP90 (GL5).

Fifth gear was an 'add on' to an earlier gearbox design so doesn't share the same shafts as 1 to 4. This may mean that its got a problem somewhere but I wouldn't worry just yet.

Bob.
