You have internal tranny problems. I'm getting ready to have mine redone by a local guy. Mine sometimes sticks in gear as well. sounds like you have a bad shift fork or something going on in there.
If you can get it redone locally, I would try that. Mine will be no more that $500 total. A local rebuilt unit is the same as a new one at about $1200+
