Okay so after messing with the truck here is where i am. Reattached shifting lever and drive shaft. The shifter will move into the positions of all of the gears however it has quite a bit of play. Testing out in "neutral" with the truck running i slowly released the clutch and it is definitely stuck in gear even though the shifter itself moves around (Can hear rpms drop as the engine attempts to take on the load). Since the clutch allows me to remove the pressure and engage i am assuming that it cannot be a clutch issue such as a broken clutch fork. At this point i am assuming that i have to drop the transmission and see if anything glaringly obvious rears its head. Anyone have an idea of what would be wrong with the transmission/experienced this before?

Also on a side note where the shift lever inserts (Into the circle) is that part and the mount for the shifter part of the transmission itself or the truck? Secondly are the bolts that hold the shifter down supposed to screw in flush because mine refused to go in all the way and resulted in me sheering one of them off.
