I know it's a silly question, but... (that's never stopped me before...)
When one loses 5th gear, is it usually something specific, such as stripping out of the splines in the gear shaft or actual gear or something breaking in the internal linkage to the shift fork, or... is each instance different? (I know I should take the cover off and have a look, but... I'm not sure what I'll be looking at... and as John Muir once said... to play with these you need to be in practice, and... I don't like to practice that much...
