Tn70 shuttle shift problem

[Chuck bay]

I'm new to the forum but have fixed many a problem by reviewing the threads on this forum. Unfortunately I'm stuck on what would seem to be a relatively easy problem and I don't want to make anything worse. I have a 2006(roughly) tn70a with a synchro command manual shuttle shift. The shuttle shift started feeling a little loose when I was doing some loader work then the shifter went totally loose. It's stuck in neutral. It was shifting fine prior to the problem. So I take the tire/fender/gas tank out so I can access the shift linkage, there's a roll pin in place, and the shifter moves forward and backward freely but the lever does not move. Im think the roll pin is broken but I can not pull the lever off the shaft to see. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Have you found your problem? Those levers can be tough to get off. A careful dose of heat can help ease them off.

If you aren't aware of them, there are roll pin punches. They have a nipple in the middle of the tip. Makes it easier to use (they stay centered while driving them).
