The fact that it is temperature related I would dismiss the linkage now that you have adjusted it (worth doing as its only a 13mm pinch bolt anyway)

5th is on the end of the cluster so would run dry if the gearbox oil is low.

You should have a level plug on the side of the box on the N/S by the CV. Remove that and top up with gearbox oil until it runs from that holoe. Replace the plug and see if it is any better?
