Worn fork pads> poor gear engagement> gear jump out> clashing shift> permanent damage to fork(bend) and 5th drive gear( the clutch teeth). Its what happens when you don't address a concern when it first comes arround. The pull , teardown and replacement of the synchro assembly, drive gear and shift fork along with the install - 2500 is still high but not outlandish.
