hey thanks for the response. I really appreciate it.

The pins I mentioned are the ones on each side that hold the shifter from spinning around. One day on the way to work the shifter just started spinning, but that was over 3 months ago.. I made new ones with some stainless bolts ground down a bit to fit the slots in the shift ball.

I fished around pretty good with my magnet. Its one of those flexible ones so I got it right down to the pan I think.. I just figured any pieces where just sitting in the pan below.
There was no pinging or grinding at all. I did try to roll backwards with the clutch in and shift out, but she's really stuck.. Maybe I'll try to jack it up like you said..

I took a photo, you can see the 3rd/4th rail is forward, I tried prying it but it won't budge..

thanks again!
