Remove the drive and try shifting the unit by hand. You should not have more than 60 to 70 degrees of travel from forward to reverse. Try moving your shift cable in and out by hand. It is possible that the cable is broken, allowing you to push the shift slide out but not pull it back in.

Once the drive is in forward gear, it will only come out when the shift slide is pulled in by the cable. If the cable is broke it will not pull the shift slide.
