5 spd trans won't go into first gear

Hi my 1989 900 was running great until on a 1-2 upshift it meshed rough. For the next 15 minutes, it seemed the 2nd gear synchro was bad. It would grind a bit on 1-2 upshifts unless I did them slowly. Then I parked it, and when I hopped back in (and ever since) I couldn't get it into first gear. I've been pulling away in second, and other than that it runs great. No noise, grinding, or whine. I can't force it into first. I tried pushing it while letting the clutch out, there is a slight forward-and-back motion of the shifter like and the car will creep slightly forward if I keep pressure on the shifter, then the gears grind. All other gears work perfectly. The shifter seems to move about half of the normal distance forward when i push it towards first, and when i put it in second it seems to sit at the correct spot. I've tried putting it in first while rolling and with the engine off. Any ideas, other than replacing the transmission ? Thanks
