I'd give Bob Hanlon a call at Hanlon Motorsports. Best guy I've ever seen with a T5. He's also a wizard with a T56, gave me some great tips I've never seen anywhere else before. I can't say enough good about him, really helped me a couple of times.

I've read on here before that there's a snap ring that holds 5th gear on the mainshaft that's known for popping off sometimes. You might want to check and make sure yours is still there. There's also a snap ring that holds the 5th driven gear on the end of the countershaft. Also check to make sure the roll pin that holds the shift fork on the end of the linkage rod is still there. If that roll pin has sheared or fallen out, the linkage rod will just slide back and forth without moving the shift fork. You'll have to remove the extension housing to inspect all this if you haven't already done so.
