Stuck in second gear. After stopping managed to get it into 4th to limp it home.

Undernieth the shift **** boot theirs a shaft connected to the linkage that runs forward, it appears that the front of this shaft has become disconnected from it's anchor point

928 INTL actually has the step by step procedure as a sidebar in their catalogs.
I don't have a scanner - It's simple but long- so I can't help you -sorry-.
Maybe someone near you has a copy to lend you or can scan upload and E-you.
Check the Greg Nichols site -add site to favorites-.

It is the shifter ball cup. There is plenty on the subject here. I just did mine and posted the steps in detail. Search under shifter ball cup. BTW there is a neat trick where you use the 928 jack to seat the ball cup. Otherwise it can be quite difficult.

Check the bushings in the rear coupler while you are at it.

Scuse',
The sidebar write up in the 928 INTL Catalog describes the ball/cup replacement - in depth-.
The article was written by Kurt Gibble.
Maybe Jim Bailey can help with the upload.
Good luck
