Your manual transmission unexpectedly slipped out of fifth gear and into neutral while you were driving at highway speeds (50-70 mph). A service bulletin was found addressing this issue, and Toyota rebuilt your transmission at a dealer. Toyota acknowledged knowing about this problem but determined it didn't affect enough vehicles to warrant a recall.
