do you mean that the lever will not go into 5th gear, or that the lever will go but when you let out the clutch it acts like it’s in neutral? ---

The check out procedure is to disconnect both shift cables at the transaxle, and see if the shifter lever moves freely through all gate. If ok proceed with a cable adjustment that requires a inch pound torque wrench and fabricating adjusting pins. This Procedure is too detailed for me to explain, however the instructions are in the Haynes manual that cost $15.00 dollars at [http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,carcode,1089187,parttype,10335](http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,carcode,1089187,parttype,10335) Its always possible you have lost 5th Gear Good Luck ---

Actually, the 1984-1993 Dodge Daytona’s were not built on the VW Rabbit/Omni/Charger platform, but instead built on the AG platform which was related to the K platform.
