    Im floating gears, double clutch is a pain haha. I move pretty quick but i slowed down and still the same effect, grinding. I found that if i "blip" the throttle 1 or 2k rpm when shifting into 5th i can shift it smoothly.
    As for the models and all that i have no clue what it is

    Make sure you have your foot completely off the accelerator when you are trying to get into 5th. Your foot may be accidentally resting on the accelerator causing a small rev that can be interfering with your shifting. Keep an eye on it.
