How low was the trans on fluid, you may have done some pretty bad damage to it.

thats the thing it was really that low but what came out was ****ty and just gunky my car was flooded 2 years ago but everything was rebuilt and when i bought it i was told all the fluids in it were fresh

it sounds like ur fluid was long overdue and probably killed it. might be bad gears

Transmissions are cheap, I don't think I have ever spend more then $150 on a used trans. You might have had a rear main seal leak and not even known it. Usually a manual transmission starts to make humming sound when its low.

it does that only in 5 at low rpm like 2100 to 2700

i agree, trannies are cheap, swap it out and while ur in there save urself some trouble and do teh rear main seal, clutch unless its newish and other things like that
