Another point...
Correct me if I"m wrong, but it sounds to me as though you're completely releasing the clutch in 5th to restart the engine. I don't do this because it seems much harder on the equipment than what I do:
- briefly and only partially engaging the clutch ("dipping it")
- then immediately pushing the pedal in again when the engine starts
- then select the proper gear, rev match, engage the clutch & carry on
