Having the same problem, decided its to hard to deal with so have another second hand box that will last me one more year.

Sorry cant help much further but Im guessing mine is combination of pushing 31"s and having a hard life.

The locking ring and teeth wear quickly on 5th gear, it will pop out quite a bit.
You need to drop the box and replace 5th gear and its locking ring, pretty easy job.. half a days worth at a leisurely pace with a decent manual (if you have not done it before)
