fifth gear grind

fifth gear grind
Just when all is well......Today on my 92 turbo on a rather spirited run tonight for the first time I am getting a grinding when engaging fifth gear. This grinding is not evident in any other gear change only fifth and it happens each time i went into fifth and has got me a bit miffed and worried.
I changed the transmission fluid a few weeks back and the gear change has been silky smooth since.
I checked my drive for any leaks and can see a a very small amount of dark oil.
Clutch slave cylinder was chnaged 3 years ago before turbo went on.
Any ideas guys? This has got me miffed.

Well it should be pretty apparent if the oil is coming from the slave or the tranny itself. So make sure it isn't the slave. If the slave is leaking your clutch resevoir should show missing fluid. If your fluid is low it could be causing the 5th gear grind. What kind of fluid did you fill it up with and how warm is it there? Does the grind only happen after you've warmed everything up?

true. I dont use fifth very often and if i am on the motorway I never really have to downshift much.
I made some enquiries and low mile tranny's can be had for £50-£100 and then fitting around £100. So not too bad compared to my rear Torsen diff which cost mega bucks (£750) as they are so rare in the UK.
