Hi dear, I laughed when I read this as the same happened to me, every time I needed 5th I needed to mentally prepare for it. This only lasted a few days and as I only found it uncomfortable as opposed to painful I made myself do it. After about 3 days I was driving along and look down at gearstick and realised I had put it into 5th as normal without even realising lol, hang on in there it does get easier x
