5th gear went out in my '88 Saab manual?

I have am 88 Saab 900 with 80,000 miles on it.(I am pretty sure its the original tans) It have always been a little stiff getting into 1st gear. Then one day I tried to shift into 5th and it just wont go. I have used a lot of force and Nothing happend. The last possible bad thing that happened was I was driving to slow in 4th gear and it popped into nutreul. The next day I found that if I florred it in 4th and shifted quick it would slide into 5th and work fine. Today I have not had such luck and its back to the same problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Is there anyway to just change the fifth gear or will I need a whole new tranny anyhow? is this normal for the milage or a sign of miss use?
