Default Linkage Problems no 3rd or 4th gear?

I lost 3rd and 4th gear in my 4+3, Linkage to shifter is good and linkage to tranny seems good, is there a pin or something inside the casing that could have come undone? I rolled to a stop in third gear and shut the car off, and when I tried to start it and take off it was stuck in third, I had to start it in gear and when I tried to shift out of third it was gone, 1st and 2nd are ok. I JUST REPLACED THIS TRANNY 1 MONTH AGO>>>>

Busted shift fork. Happened to me once, 3rd gear also. Not hard to replace, but spendy dealer part (sorry, do not remember how much).

Or the selector comb has come adrift from the shaft through the side cover.
Shaft is only pressed in
