I finally got my 91 back on the road yesterday & came to realize my car will not go into 5th gear at all? It feels like its completely locked out? The last time I drove it a few months back, I remember it being very tough to get into 5th, but now it won't at all. I haven't changed any clutch adjustments, & all the other gears still feel the same?

Any info or suggestions?

Thanks...
