Sounds more like you went 5th to 2nd dude. I would have to say you have a problem. Check your tranny fluid first, you might also want to change it. I did that once to but I didnt go from 5th to 2nd mine went 4th to 1st. I didnt seem to have a problem at that time but like three days later my tranny exploded. (not saying that will happen to you) My syncros were shot though. If I were you I would be more concerned about the condition of those main rods.
