Brad,

You will want to check all the shifter adjustment tips in the archives,
but if those fail If you can get into 3rd you at least haven't broken
the shift fork.  I suggest you bite the bullet and get an experienced
PRO to rebuild it, someone like Gary at AA Transaxle.
http://www.aatransaxle.com.  Gary's price list says $1300, but you get
what you pay for: the "Deutsche Method" according to Doktor Tim.

I have rebuilt several standard transmissions, but wouldn't touch the
sophisticated syncro box, too much expertise required, not to mention
tools, like a press, bearing splitters, dial indicators, collection of
shims, micrometer or dial calipers, etc., etc.  I'd pay someone who
knows these complicated boxes and their quirks.
