It is more likely that the pull rod which chup mentions is broken. I doubt if the rolled pin is broken.

And it's a pretty self explanatory repair. You don't have to remove the shifter. But you do have to remove the boot and drive out that rolled pin to remove the outer shell of the shift lever. That outer shell will offer some resistance but it will come off.

Once you get to that point you'll see what's what.

The only problem is the pull rod is a hard to find part.

I'd suggest you remove the shift knob and see if the pull rod is still screwed to the detent knob. If so the rod is broken or damaged.

It's unlikely but maybe the small screw that fastens the rod to the knob has worked loose and is down inside the shift lever. I wouldn't count on it though.
