Have had the same prblem for the last 60k. Slow your shift into 5th and you'll be fine.

Yea when I first got my 06 Evo it did this every time going into 5th gear... It doesn't grind as long as I Press the clutch in and let the RPM's fall to idling range, then shift into 5th . Shouldn't have to do that but it gets me by without grinding that gear. But boyyyy dont let me have to go into that gear racing...
