I don't know much about 900's specifically, but that sounds like either worn synchros or a screwey shift-collar. Hopefully it's the shift collar.

What about down shifting to 1st as you're coming to a stop? I do this in my new-to-me 240 and then I can shift out of 1st and back in with no trouble, so long as I don't roll.

The shift collar can completely prevent you from getting into or out of any gear. My brother's seized up on a suzuki samurai one day and we had no idea what the problem was.
It will be underneath the grey rubber shifter boot.


Good Luck,
