lk3054 shifter stopped working

[66gt350]

Over the weekend, the shifter on my 3054 decided to stop working. It's stuck in I believe second gear. The shifter does nothing, it's just free floating. It pulls up about 6 inches, and I can see what looks like a bolt that has sheared off. I just ordered a parts manual and service manual, but they won't be in for a week. I started to take off the cast iron plate that's on the side of the tranny, to get a look to see what's the problem, but have run into trouble. I took out all the bolts, but the plate is stuck on there. It looks like there's a sealant holding it on. Does this come off easy or will this take major surgery to fix? Does someone have a scanned copy of the parts blow up of the tranny and shifter area, so I can work on this while mine are being shipped?

edit: I went to the local dealer, which they've only been a dealer about a week, and got a blow up of the area I need. It looks like the main shift cover should come straight off. It must be held on by some sealant from hades. I guess that I'll just have to work on breaking the sealant free. Any words of wisdom?

thanks

You might try a heat gun. Good luck!

I believe there is a roll pin that you probably broke or came loose and that is what has your shifter lever free, seems like a common issue, but simple to fix.

Hi guys,
I’ve not personally had to fix but seen similar posts.
I can provide pics of repair manual if you don’t already have

JoelD that would be very helpful. I’m reviewing the parts manual and checking out the parts that interfere. Getting ready to drain the hydraulic fluid. Thank you.
