Default Can't select 5th gear (Focus)

Hi,

My 1.8 Zetec will not go into 5th, it just revs !!

I've just had my cambelt done on it and am wondering if it could have been interfered with or am I totally off on a tangent?

The guy who did it dropped it off and must have used the motorway on his way back and therefore attempted 5th gear and noticed a problem, unless it has just happened to me.

All the other gears work fine although 4th has been a little crunchy recently.

It's done 74k miles and has had a gear box leak for a while and was found to have no oil in it, which has now bee corrected.

So basically I don't know if the guy who fixed it has ragged it ot death on the way home (he lives in warrington and has used quarter of a tank - £10 worth of fuel which I think is a little excessive for 40 or 50 miles) or it is a problem that has just happened but been building up as a result of the leak mentioned above.

Advice most appreciated

Cheers

Chris
