I've had that problem as well, mine got stuck in fourth when I was stopping at a light and I had to take off in fourth...not fun... currently mine is in the shop getting new bearings and synchronizers because it was jammed in a gear somehow after my rearend went out. I'll let you know if it seems to get rid of it.
