this happened to me b4, and it ended up being the clutch cylinder where the fluid is was stuffed, 70 bucks later it was fixed. i had to drive thru towns and traffic lights with no clutch! yeh it was stuck in neutral or some gear, but then came unstuck

1/
Make damn sure the clutch is IN and the transfer is in NEUTRAL & HANDBRAKE IS OFF
( it wont hurt to drop the front & rear drive shafts off either to make doubly sure that the box is not being 'loaded' )

2/
get ya self a bit of 1/2inch copper pipe about 8"long...... use it as a drift

3/
grab a hammer and TAP the selector fork GENTLY using the copper pipe as a drift.

4/
if it frees up ya laughing....... :D

5/
if it dont move ............

guess who's got a gearbox pull to do

i have had similar probs with mine in the past, the roll pin that holds the selector to the shaft broke, so i was stuck in third. the last box i killed it seized the mainshaft to the input shaft.
