It's not the shifter
I finally got to work on the car today. The shifter seems to be working correctly. The problem must be the attachment to the tranny. I'll tackle this next.
To get to that point I guess the right rear wheel will be removed and a jack stand put there to get to the tranny location. :dance:

Take a peek underneath at the passenger side rear of the tranny. I'm betting one of the two cable connectors has come apart. The cable running the lower arm with the weight hanging low next to the tranny is the cable that controls the front-rear motion at the shifter.
I'll see if I have a pic for you.

One of the cables popped out of the bracket (number 12 in the diagram).
What would cause this? Do I need to replace a part?
thanks

Want the cheap fix? I use safety wire on the race cars, and a zip tie on street cars to keep them in the bracket. The cable housing has two clips on it. They break off and as far as I can tell, they are not available separately.

Thanks Brad!
The clips seem to be intact. It snapped back into place and I can't pull it out.
I'll put zip tie on it to ensure it stays.

I couldn't find any 6 speed pics. I see this more often on 5 speeds (but they both utilize the same crappy system)
