Ford KA car won't go into 5th gear

Gearbox & Clutch
Hi all!
Have no clue about cars, my ford ka (year '99)won't go into 5th gear. Makes a loud crunching noise and pops back out of gear. Just wondering if anyone knows what this might be or if its expensive?
Any help is much appreciated :(
Thanks!

Check for worn linkage first of all.

First the gear change linkage should be checked to make sure you are getting a positive engagement into 5 the ,And that it,s not a tight gear change issue,If all is ok on the gear change then possible synchro mesh unit fault inside gear box.Best to get a mechanic to check this if you are not sure ;-)
