SHE'S RUNNING LIKE A TOP!!!

Soooo... here is my contribution to the forum.
After taking the left cover off (you have to drain the engine oil) I immediately found the problem... the retainer spring had popped off of the gear shift spindle!!! (see picture)
Looked around to make sure if anything else was broken/bent, wiped everything down with a clean rag and put the spring back in place and she shifts just fine!
WHEW!!!

Thanks for all your help and insights Luke, Peter, Tools (what the heck did you do!?) ;-)
