I GUESS the protrusion is simply attached to the bar. I gave it a knock directly onto the little lobe that is pushing the ball in the reverse switch. The protrusion did not come off the bar, but the lobe was flat after 3 or 4 hits, so it couldn´t push the switch. The lobe had moved 90 degrees to the left. It did not turn on the bar but the lobe had to come out there because I flatened it in its original position (since metal does not disappear when hammering on it). And the same works vice versa: make it flat and it will come out somewhere else. Man, I hate writing technical descriptions in english, forgive me... And: The shifter bar only fits in one position.

When I tried to turn it with pliers, the other side of the bar (where the shifter hooks to it) moved. Am I supposed to somehow disconnect the shifter linkage first, and then try to turn it? Wouldn't that cause my 2 & 4 to change places with 1&3 ? :-) Michael
