. My old mans Nissan Homy (E24) has no 5th gear. You select it and theres no drive. No ugly noises - just no drive in five. Any suggestions would be welcomed

Change the gear knob for a 4 speed one

Remove offending box, take to gearbox specialist, get quoted more than the van is worth to repair. Buy 2nd hand unit from a wreckers and putit back in.

Sounds like a problem with the fifth gear hub / baulk ring / dog teeth. If you have some mechanical ability you may be able to remove the rear housing from the gearbox without removing complete box from vehicle and have a look see. Is reverse still working coz I think fifth and reverse are on the same selector shaft!
