Hi Mitch,
Having never had anything to do with the boxes on these it would be hard to guess what's going on but I might check with my mechanic in Melbourne and see what he has to say.
I did experience a similar problem with an old car I had some years back now in that the selector fork collar had come loose and would only move it in one direction, anything after that was a no go.
But of course I don't know these gearbox operations and this could be completely different so don't quote me on this. I will give him a call and see what he says.
BTW I know B'dog had a similar issue with his some time ago, I will get back to you on here or PM. Cheers mate.

Spoke to Charlie (my mech) and he says it could be one of a few things all of which require an internal look. Hard to pick it exactly without seeing it. The other fella I mentioned, well his was just a simple adjustment issue on the shifter linkage which had to be lengthened, (behaving the same) and his was solved but I guess you have looked at that. I hope you have a successful, easy fix at minimum cost mate. Cheers.

Has the selector been jumping or like bouncing while trying to change gear. I had worn dog gears on my YZF yamah which caused the selector to jump in and out (terrible feeling) it bent the selector arm (small lug on the shaft) I fixed it a few times till it stranded me and I had to fix it (was stuck in neutral) replaced second and sixth gear and selector arm, forks and drum. Was a big job had to pull the whole engine apart - pistons off the rods etc justto crack the case.

No nothing like that mate it was fine until today . It's fine in first but nowhere else it just feels like it's in neutral . I'll just park her up till Ii have some money to get it looked at
