D2 stuck in gear

I was running my 3j yesterday and after backing up it wouldn't come out of reverse. I was able to back it back into the shop. My guess is the locking mechanism on the clutch leaver? I just need someone to point me in a direction of what to check first

Ryan,
take the clutch cover off and look over on the right side of the chamber while you work the clutch lever to and fro. You should see a linkage that is supposed to be connected to the "other side" of the clutch yoke that goes rearward to the transmission interlock. It should be connected and moving and not flopping around at either end. If it is, then just hook it back up (pin is probably in the bottom of the clutch compartment or down the back of where the interlock rod goes. If it is all connected up, then take the transmission cover off (has the gear lever in the middle of it) and work the clutch lever again. The interlock runs across the three selector shafts sideways and has pins / springs that fit into the detents. See if you can move the selector shaft in question manually with the clutch disengaged / engine not running, and also try the other selector shafts. If the other ones can be put into gear, then the problem is either in the selector detents or the reverse gear is "stuck" on its shaft. Do you have the parts catalog? If so, it shows the layout.

Well thanks a bunch Neil! You pointed me right to the problem. The pin fell on of the linkage. No luck finding it but I just turned a new one up on the lathe. It started raining so it will be a while before I get back out and find the next thing broken.
