Can't easily engage 5th gear

Topic starter

Hey man, quick question — I’ve got a 2016 Lancer ES manual and I’m trying to see if something I’m experiencing is normal or not.

When I’m stopped, I can’t shift into 5th unless I rev it a bit or go into another gear first. Everything works fine with the engine off though.

Have you ever noticed anything like that?

Sounds like you have have a worn-out synchronizer on that gear. (If your clutch were not releasing fully I would expect you'd have trouble shifting into all gears.)
