B2600 manual trans linkage

I have a 92 b2600, 2 wheel drive, with about 230,000 miles, no transmission trouble in the past.

Yesterday while I was driving on back roads (some washboarding some potholes) my manual gear shift linkage became disconnected. Lucky for me, it was in 3rd gear and I was able to drive it home via highways.

I can feel the shifter seem to center over the linkage but am unable to make it connect. The linkage is within a 'tower' on the rear of the tranny, is there a way to fix this myself, or is this a job that involves removing the tranny? The chilton's manual doesn't go into the transmission itself so I have no drawings/instructions.

Took the shifter out, everything looks ok but the stick is not engaging with the linkage. There is a pin sitting next to the linkage within the transmission, Is there a way to put the linkage back together without dropping the transmission?

Fixed it without help from the forum, or anyone else for that matter.

Removed the top of the tower (with the help of a screwdriver and hammer.) Then there was plenty of room to re-assemble the linkage.

Somebody could have mentioned this.
