Does it do the same from 5th to 4th?

Sounds like a syncro problem..

actualy, just a thought but what oil is in the box and how long ago and how many miles was it changed ?
although not experienced it myself, I have heard people comment about scoob boxes not liking certain oils because it's too slippy for the synchro's.

ok, I was just thinking it could be the syncro is a little weak and that it might be made worse by the wrong oil is all.
