so it's stuck in reverse since I parked it at home the first time.
The shitty shifter seems to have made me fight the shift finger right out of the reverse fork leaving it with reverse engaged. Found a parts drawing that shows how the mechanism works. Probably have to pull extension housing off the trans to fix. It's like a rear shifted Toy case with the linkages coming in the back side. Hopefully simple matter of clean it up, drop the driveshaft, I think pull the rear trans mount, split the case, shift it out of reverse with the shift rail, and be all set.
Just what I was hoping for with a new purchase!
