RE: tranny problems
wacokid, you've not given much info about how it managed to get stuck. But a couple of thoughts before you tear the tranny out of the frame. Take the pressure off the clutch push rod and the clutch release arm. See if you can get the tranny out of 4th by moving the shift lever and shaft by hand.
It would help to know a little bit about the history of the bike....recent rebuild?...barn fresh?...had similar problems before w/ it?...

RE: tranny problems
PM headed your way. Not gonna be much you can do through the drain plug 
. Like pan said, get any possible clutch pressure off of it, and try to manipulate it. If that does nothing, drop the oil bag and take the ratchet top off. See if something is broken in there causing it to stay/pop into 4th.
If this is a new tranny, who is the manufacturer, and would it possibly be under warranty?
