Is it 5mm or is your 6%? If you select a replicator 2 you will see the 6% error as it has one more tooth on its drive gears. Make sure you have replica...

I would check your end stop cables. They are a known issue with this style printer. Unplug them and do your jogging to see if they are the culprit.
