You are sure having a lot of problems with the fifth gear I have fixed a lot of them with the upgraded nut from Dodge and have not had any problems like you have had. The next step is the fully splined shaft from Standard Trans.

One of the hardest things on the 5th gear--or any gear is the rpm.
If you are running in 5th and the rpm are under 1500, you are at risk.
