Late 280Z 5 speed stuck in gear

Well, boys, I am borrowing my buddy's 240Z which has an L28 and a 280Z five speed transmission. I was getting on the freeway earlier and upshifting from fourth to fifth gear and the transmission made a quick popping noise and just stayed in gear. No amount of forcing or anything will take it out of gear.

 

Is there anything I can try to get this thing working or am I looking at swapping the transmission this evening to get the thing to work in the morning?

If the shifter pivot pin didn't fall out, I would say your looking at a shift fork/syncro/blocker/detent problem. ALL INTERNAL, except for the detents.

I would pull the trans and do the postmortem on the bench. :(
