Apparently there is a shift fork inside of the transmission that selects the gears....

Remove the cover for the shift console. Can you select a gear by moving the the shifter from there?. Is it loose there? If so remove the console. See it is is broken there. Not sure but I think the oil needs to be drained for this.

no Aaron, I checked.

The shift rod at the transmission was 180 degrees out.

"I" would classify that as a failure at the transmission...........

If you have a tail shift you can not just whip out there and quickly modify to side shift.
there are internal "things" that need to be changed.
the rod for a tail shift can not be turned 180 degrees it is held in position by the shift forks. Unless you REALLY broke it

take a picture and show me what you mean.
Show it from under the car, rear of the tranny.

I have everything you need, including a cut away transmission case to reset the forks if you really have a broken or loose shift fork.

Good Lord!

Some people have all the luck (an others none)

I just hope your trans is ok inside with the selector and a roll pin loose in there.

Did this happen while driving? What HORRIBLE crunching sounds were heard? When you drain the gear lube, I hope you don't find many many tiny bits of metal, but I suspect that you might.

The roll pin can be replaced, but WHY did it fail? Was your car that hard to shift?

Post some pics of the carnage.

I will, but it was shifting very shallow-ly into 3 and 5 (not 1 oddly enough) and very deep into R,2 and 4.

Then i wasnt able to shift into 3 or 5 at all, but could shift into 1 fine, so i just used 1,2 and 4 until i got home.

I was goign to limp over to my parents house to adjust my shift linkage, but then I had zero gears after trying to re-adjust my linkage.

Eventually, **EVERYTHING*** in my car will either be brand new, or almost new.
