M5R2 - shifter out, came out of neutral
 
Hey, little help!. I was replacing the bushings, removed everything in neutral. Reinstalled but while trying to get that shifter bolt back in, I disengaged it in another gear. Now when reinstalled it doesn't shift into any gears. What do I have to move through the port hole to put it back in neutral? Thank you.

Had the same problem recently. There are 3 tabs down the shifter hole. One of those tabs will not be aligned with the other 2. Take a screwdriver and just try to push it into alignment with the others. Or check my post history, I had the same post on here, some dude gave a killer explanation! Good luck, its super easy!

Thanks, I did finally figure it out. Worth the hassle as it now shifts like new for $13 and a few headaches. Those pins were a pain. There must be a trick but I just ended up banging it at an angle with a screw driver and left the other one in there. I wanted to go get the rubber plugs, but they aren't leaking and I had enough. I'll keep a close eye on them and have the brass ones handy.
