I had similar problem with 4th.

Though in not really the same at all, as you are able to disengage. For what it is worth, here is my experience. I was exiting an expressway ramp, and move the trans from 5th to neutral. There was a solid 'clunk', and the gear felt like it was stuck in 4th or 5th. Could not get it out, even though I could easily run through the gears with the clutch depressed. Only 4/5th responded, and I was stuck. Shifted through the gears a couple of more times, and the tranny released and behaved normally. A month later, the gear locked up the same way, and stayed.
It was the tranny. The end of the C clip between 3rd and 4th broke off, and wedged under the 4th gear which is supposed to be free spinning unless used.
The upshot of all of this is that it kind of sounds like tranny to me, and they can do bizarre things sometimes. Definitely check the other stuff, as it is often the simple things. The 9k tranny is usually very strong, and several mechanics had told me they've never had problems with them. But keep it in mind.
