  Yes.

 Is it an expensive fix?

  No.  There is a long rod running from the transmission to the gear
shift.  It is actually two rods held together with splines and a
clamp.  Loosen the clamp and rotate the front rod clockwise (clockwise
from the transmission's point of view).  Rotate it a spline at a time
until the gears are back where you want them to be.
