That gear is damaged in transmission. The car gets stuck because of that. The gears lock together. The car Rev because transmission won't move and engine power keeps increasing.
First thing you should do is check your transmission fluid level. This is a common issue when it comes to high rev, and low acceleration. If its a manual tranny, the clutch could be slipping, is their a burning odor coming from your car?
Well with no other info,your transmission might not be shifting. Please check fluid level and reply. Also is the check,engine light on? You may be on limp mode if it is on. Worst case you need a new transmission best case low fluid level.
best advice is dont go 40mph in 5th gear... if you are going up a hill at 40mph in 5th gear i have no doubt that it is jerking, your putting too much stress on the engine. shift up to 4th or 3rd you will be fine. 5th gear is an overdrive gear. 55+mph
Is the engine revving high at 40mph? If so then chances are the trans has not shifted. Is engine very sluggish, or won't rev high, possibly with a hissing sound? If so then you may have a restricted exhaust system.
You could have a bad valvebody in your transmission or a bad pump in your transmission or your clutches are bad. In any case you have a bad transmission. Please rate my answer.
