i know its not the same engine but when i 1st bought mine 3rd and 4th were very hard to find on mine.

What engine / box was in there to start with ?
If it was a 4spd then theres a small tab on the side of the gear stick (underneath the rubber gaitor) that stops you moving the stick over to where 5th should be, just chop it off !!
If thats not it then you'll just need to keep 'fine' adjusting it untill you get all gears.
