Manual transmission 03 eclipse gts do I have overdrive?

If you have the five speed manual, almost certainly the fifth gear is an overdrive gear. Overdrive means that the gear ratio is less than 1:1, and in most 5 speeds, the fourth gear is 1:1, the fifth gear being less, such as 0.85:1 for instance. So yes, you probably have overdrive, it's just not called that in a standard transmission.

I would check to see if the fluid is low, and replace it with Honda manual transmission fluid first. Honda manual transmissions originally used engine oil, never gear oil, then Honda came out with manual trans fluid. Either would work, but the Honda manual fluid would be better.

Yeah you might need a new tranny. Not even replacing the fluids or changing the filter will help bc it would make it even worse by flushing away metal parts in your gears which would eventually cause slippage then failure.

Fifth gear throwing out when its put in

common problem with manual transmissions that have over drive gears, instead of dropping back to lower gear for overtaking, just putting foot to floor over loads the overdrive gear, prematurely wearing it to the point where the pressure angle changes between the gear in question and its meshing counterpart, causing it to throw/jump out of gear. dont use 5th gear, if you do, be gentle, it will eventually fail, get a new transmission!
