I have a V8 quattro 5 speed and the linkage seems broken. wont go into 2nd, 4th, or Reverse without taking the shift boot off. Once the boot is off I can grab the shifter at the base and yank it back into second and 4th and reverse. Is there some way to pull the whole thing out and get a look at it without pulling the transmission.
