Corbit

Drove fine up to the gas pump , then I got in to leave and it died when I let out the clutch. I tried to shift it around but I beleave it to be stuck in 4th. I limped it home ( 1/4 mile ) . I pulled the shifter out and saw nothing out of the ordinary, I pulled the side cover next to that and saw nothing.
I did a search and now know this is a very common problem we have in our cars, If anyone has a heads up on a quick fix I would much appreciate it very much ,and pics help out . thanks
My tranny is S5 TII
