Anyone who's lost 5th in a T5

Have all 4 gears perfect and had fifth but it just went- positive feel but it revs like neutral.

Form what I read it is most probably the snap ring. I see a few people talking about upgraded ones to prevent this from happening. Anyone know where I can buy one from? Any help greatfully received.

You can try ebay. My 5th gear snap ring slipped off and I just tack welded it in place. I have a T56 now so I dont have to worry about it anymore.

Tack welding sounds like a plan. Thanks
