I would probably mean rebuilding or (cheaper) replacing the gearbox. This would cost you more than $200 and probably isn't worth it.
If it goes into 5th, but pops out almost immediately when you let go of the shifter, it's probably the 5th gear synchromesh. Repairs will be about $1000, figuring that as long as they got the tranny out to fix the synchromesh, you might as well replace the clutch parts, and save yourself some labor $$$ down the road.
