My 98 stuck in 3rd on over run approaching round about on A1. Took MAJOR force to get it out. Inspected by garage - could find no fault (although it seemed stiffer for a while) they change GB oil and told to monitor oil level in GB as it was slightly down. Since then (2 yrs) no probs (touch wood).
Its all a worry !!!!!!

yes unfortunately as slimshady said, my gearbox did the same firstly bent the selector forks (made it hard to change gears) they got stuck in second and wouldn't come out. It was a broken selector fork.
