Does this mean that in 5th, with no pawls involved, the roller clutches have to hold more force than in other gears? I wonder if my gear oil is too viscous, or if it has washed away the grease that I put on the outer bearing rings, thereby becoming even more viscous, and messing up the roller clutch operation?
