heh...you said skip ****. Did your skip "shift" stuff work before the clutch? There is a skip shift feature on these cars that can be disabled either by a tune or you can buy a small device to plug in by the tranny. Could he have possibly disconnected yours when he took the tranny out? You can drive like a grandma though and disable it to test if it lets you go in all gears. I didn't think it blocked 5th gear though.

The skip shift has nothing to do with 5th. WHAT is your mechanic wanting to make?

That being said, you have a new clutch, and it will NOT go into 2nd, 3rd or 5th? Right? Will it go into Reverse, 1st, 4th and 6th OK?

Do you have an aftermarket adjustable shifter?
Are the stops out too far keeping you from engaging the affected gears?

At the base of a B&M there are stops that are adjustable. If they are out too far they can cause problems getting into gear.
