86 jetta diesel, high reving 5ht gear

On my 86 jetta diesel there is no tach, but when i switch from 4th to 5th (around 70km/h) 5th revs really high (or sounds like it does)
what's the deal?

Wierd not normal. are you sure you have eased off the throttle enough just before you dip the clutch, diesels can lag slightly, is it a turbo? turbo could create even greater lag

I bet it revs as high as 3rd. Your linkage is bad

Are you sure you are counting the gears right? Sound like Torque converter lockup is not working.

FORD BANTAM DIESEL GEAR RATIO

The closest I can find is
1st---3.15---2nd--1.91--3rd--1.28--4th--.95--5th--..76 rev--3.62 and final drive (diff ratio )3.59. You can check these at a ford dealer ship in the workshop manual specs

5th gear shifter linkage reverse

can i assume you pulled the side plug on tranny and the level
is right there? or gone way down, ever do a 50k service? to it?

M/T tranny (not auto) what engine? the m./t varies by HP of ENGINE.
If its really in 5th ( i bet not)
if the RPM rises fast that is called clutch slip
yes, clutch bad.
if not in 5th actual rpm will rise fast too. slip,
if the other gears wroke like 4th at wide open throttle up hill
gee the chutch is good.
so its not going in to 5th (for lots of reasons)
but 1 reason , is easy.

-AX 4/5/15 transmission
this tranny has a shift tower. (that thing on top that the shifter lever
fits in to)
most tranny that fail to actual shift into gear
is caused by a $1 plastic part failure
so pull the shifter off top of the shift tower.
and look, is the plastic buffer parts all bad, missing, cracked or
destoryed, sure they all end there... all.
i can also remove the shifter, lever.
and shift to 5ht by hand, and see that it DOES.
it either does, or does not.
if it does, the lever parts are bad.
that simple.
see part 61 (im guessing which of 5 tranny it is , )
