    Most likely a bent shifting fork, but there could be some component that's come adrift in the gearbox. Fixing it is not a job for an untrained technician.

    If you don't know anything about how it works best leave it to the experts. The shifter fork is inside the transmission/engine case. Most of the time the fork gets bent and needs to be replaced. Can't tell you how much it will cost all shops are different. You can call Suzuki dealers and ask how much to replace the shift fork to get an idea.
