Blip throttle with clutch pedal pressed or not? If the transmission has a little synchro glitch, revmatching wouldn't do anything. One needs to double clutch to get rid of the glitch.
As for the light blipping, we're talking 6th to 5th at 70mph here. Off the top of my head, engine rpm would be >3000 before the shift and >4000rpm after. Light to me means something around 2000rpm. That won't be enough to revmatch properly. It's suggested early in this thread to go to 4th instead, since OP said only 5th gear got the glitch. Engine rpm needs to be >5000 after a shift like that. It's hard to believe going from 6th to 5th at 70mph has a synchro glitch and going to 4th doesn't. I would double clutch if it's my car.
