so i was replacing my drive gear on my transmission, and when putting my shifter block back on, i think the ball moved up to 3rd gear detent, because now when the block is in 3rd, the trans is in neutral. and now the fun part- when i try to shift it into neutral (which in my case would be 4th gear) it catches 4th gear and i can't pull the block out all the way to neutral position. so the pin is stuck in it!!

what can i do to get the pin out? we've already tried extracting it. punching it is no good because of the detents not being right, the pin won't fall out the bottom

You could try prying at it with a big screwdriver to get it into the correct position.
