Default No Reverse!

I pull into a parking spot tonight for diner and when I come out and try and put my 6 speed into reverse all I get it it going into 6th gear. The little black round **** that I have to lift up on now has no tension on it at all and if I lift it up it just stays up. While it is in the up position I can see a little access hole with a rod inside the main shifter shaft which appears to not move at all when I pull up on the round black plastic **** wrapped around the main shifter rod. Can somebody tell me what could have broke causing this mess.
Thanks :confused:

it sounds like the interlock has broke.

you may want to get in there and disconnect the entire thing.

the hurst and ripper shifters both disable the interlock. I suppose it can be done without replacing the shifter.
