beat it out of third,use a jack handle over the shifter or some thing.its a 50/50 shot if it will work after that but its worth a try.my ole 86 did that to me once,i got it out of third and it was fine for another year or so!!:bigthumb

Try havin someone rock the car back and forth and you try in pop it out a gear.It should pop out.If it dont prepare to replace it,but dont even stick another T-5 in there.Go spend the money on a nice tremec,you will thank yourself later.
