the rod in both pics are suppose to go in that hole in the background but cant seem to get it back far enough to fit it in. not that great with cars but i know it cant be that hard to fix. im thinking since its stuck in 4th gear maybe theres alot of pressure on it, and if i get the car off the ground i can push it back easier

Your right that's a bad pic.
Anyway if the tranny is in 4th you should be able to put the shifter in 4th and the rod should be at the hole.
Maybe there's something else going on ?

any chance thats the reverse lever linkage and you have to pull the tailhousing off to reinsert the rod and install the pin?
