Am I doing something wrong? Any advice? Thanks much

your engine rpms are not close enough to driveshaft rpms for a smooth shift or you have some broken tranny parts. i would guess the rpms are to high for fifth gear to engage at 50 mph though as i do a 1,2,5 shift with rpms around 2,000 going into 5 around 50 smoothly but grind if rpms are around 3,000.

If you don't like to shift, buy an auto. Then you can "cruise" all you want.
