Sounds like you broke the pivot bolt that goes in the middle of the 
shift linkage. If you're lucky it just came unscrewed. 

You have to raise the car, it is in an oval hole in the center of the 
frame. Easy fix once you find it. It is INSIDE the frame.

If you have the parts book, you can see it on page 4/2/0, the ID is 
17, the part number is 110183 from a DMC place. Good luck with it.
