Was having trouble getting the shifter to get in gear. Feels bent or something. I shoved it into forst now its stuck in first no neutral or anything. Clutch feels fine and I have plenty of fluid in the res.

Pull shifter out and look down into trans it shold look like a square or rectangle where the shifter rests take a large screwdriver sn dsee if you can make it look like that then reinstall shifter with a couple of bolts and see if it shifts ok if it does then finish reinstall if not the trans has to come out

All I said as to pull shifter out not the trans well now that you have it out see if it has the square or rectangle at shifter box like I said it may be jammed between gears. If not then it's a syhncro bad or locked up or a shift rod so it would have to come apart to fix that.

Ok I cant get the trans off the bellhousing. The housing for stick that is on the shift rod is blocking the way to slide it apart. This is a nv3500 right? I cant find any instructions on how to disassemble. Do I need to get rig pliers and take off the lock ring?
