I have seen fifth gear fail like that before, according to Snyth, this happens when someone puts it in 5th when at a stop, instead of reverse. they let out the clutch and stomp on it (expecting to go backwards), and it puts too much stress on fifth and it fails. as good a reason as any, seems like it would be difficult to put that much stress on it standing still, but it is possible.
