Hi Andy,

First time has to happen sometime!  You can likely pry it out of this
overshifting position by taking off the side plate, but it probably will
happen again soon.  It's a fixable thing, but still needs to be out of the
car.  I have a small really inexpensive, (read that as free!) ring that
helps when you're ready to work on the problem.  I also have a more
expensive solution!  A 5 speed!

Later, Paul A
