Description of the problem	While on a public highway, the shifter cables failed in an attempt to shift into 6th gear, leaving the vehicle stuck in 5th gear. Vehicle was in a gradual acceleration at the time of failure. This resulted in an unsafe condition, as initially it was not apparent what happened. Eventually it became apparent that a transmission failure of some type had occurred and the vehicle was stuck in gear. Speed control was impaired, and vehicle was in an unsafe, diminished control configuration. Fortunately there was minimal traffic which allowed the situation to be evaluated without peril. Had the traffic been heavier this may not have been the case. Vehicle is a manual transmission, so eventually reduced throttle and use of the clutch enabled a safe outcome. Replacement of the shifter cables was required to restore vehicle to operational condition ( after tow to a repair location).
