So i have no 5th or 6th gear in my focus. i took the shifter apart and checked over the linkage and everything looks good. im thinking maybe just the cables need adjusted?? anyone ever dealt with this?

Could be the syncros (sp) going bad, kinda wierd its a higher gear not to mention two different throw directions but stranger things have happened..

its nothing in the trans i dont think. it has to be in the shifter/linkage. the shifter is sloppy now and it used to be tight.

Check the shifter cable bushings...where they connect to the transmission, also check the cables make sure there is nothing wrong with them either..

Let me know when you find the fix just in case if mine would ever do the same

Fixed It!! On the one shifter cable there is a spring that goes in a plastic nut and it came loose so i had to screw it back on. i have all the gears back again.
