Usually wear in the selecter in the gearbox. Transmission shop time I'm afraid.
May not be that dramatic, but that is the worst case scenario. What age/model Celica was it again?

Dog teeth are worn in the transmission. Tranny rebuild/replacement is indicated.

Its a 1990 GTS
Sorry, forget the thrust washer theory and head for the transmission shop for an overhaul/replacement.
Worn inertia locks. Not too tough of a fix actually. I'm sure Gary Knowmore can fix it, he knows everything
Dana, you need to order the "hub and slider" for the gear in question, then of course, all synchros and bearings. But you could just fix 5th as its at the rear of the transaxle and accessable from the last cover.
