Prob just need to adjust the linkage so the gearsticks further across to the left allowing you to get 5th

get under the car loosen the pinch bolt that holds the gear shaft in place (next to the rear engine mount) while someone holds the gearstick still. then get the person to move the gearstick slightly left and hold it there while you do up the pinch bolt.
or you can pull up the gearstick gaitor and put a pin through the 2 holes (on the left), which saves you needing a 2nd person, but doesnt always line it up perfectly.
