So this is a long shaft, I’m sure dealing with the extension is a pain. It’s been awhile since I have dealt with one of these things, but remember it was a pain indeed. The only thing I can think of that might help is trying to fashion some sort of guide for the shift rod….Perhaps trying a long pair of forcepts around the shift rod in between the gearcase and extension, then wobbling the shift rod around a bit until it “finds its hole”. Unfortunately, trying to align that shift rod is a blind operation indeed. This job is probably easier if you have an assistant helping out….
