there are 3 forks on the shifter housing that move the gears, they have to be aligned with the slots they go in on the gears. dont force anything as the plastic inserts at the end of the forks can be damaged or pop out. Others have had the same problem and said they got it by working the shifter and the input shaft a bit. I've noticed that its easiest to put the trans in 1st b4 pulling the shifter out. less resistance pulling it out means less resistance putting it back. now you have to pull the shifter back out and check it. i bet it was just jammed because it was not aligned right.
