If the shifter was a bit loose in the top of the trans, then the selector rail can be overdriven into the gear. When that happens one of the three shift plates that engage the synchro ring can pop out of place, preventing the clutch hub from returning. That means dismantling the gearbox. Hopefully it is simpler, like George mentioned.
