Problem with transmission
 
I pulled my shifter out to put some more fluid in it and now it is stuck in reverse. What can I do to get it back to neutral?

I'm sorry, but I have to ask. Who the heck sold you shifter fluid??
I'd be happy to help but the question kinda has me floored. Auto/manual? What is stuck? The shifter or the trans?
If it was working before you did this, I am going to guess that you just put it on wrong. It's probably something not completely aligned. Try removing it again and making sure everything moves freely. Then make sure to carefully align everything so that nothing binds or interferes when installing it. Hopefully thats all it is.

Shifter fluid? Just how and what did you pull out? Would really like to know. Is it an automatic or manual?

On his profile it shows it as manual.

miss understood him,
you can put trans fluid in the shifter part if your to lazy to go down the street and buy a pump to pump it in the correct way..
i believe thats what he did...

as for why its stuck?
uhm its not?
you cant put the shifter in crooked soo you gotta pop it out with a screwdriver(same way you would if you were shifting out of reverse so you dont screw anything up)
idk how you took it out with it in reverse but its simple just pop it out with a screw driver or wiggle your shifter around in there til it pops out.

Filling the trans through the shifter? How do you know if its full or over filled?
A general rule is: if it worked before you touched it, and is doesn't work now, you kcufed up. Everybody does it. Go backwards in your steps until you find out where.

well you wouldnt know haha >.<
its dumb but can be done..
im sure he got it cuz he hasnt been replying :P

I don't think it's dumb...well maybe if you are just being lazy. It's actually pretty clever if say, you had a stripped fill plug. It would be good to know how much oil is in there though.
Probably got it figured out already.

There's noting wrong with filling it through the top.. Naturally it's foolish if you don't have a way to check that you are at the right level but sometimes it's still easier to fill this way even if you can get the fill plug off to check the fluid level.

Sorry about that guys I should have used gear oil instead. I got the problem fixed my brother help me get it back in neutral to straighten everything up. For a minute I thought I was screwed.
Thanks for the quick reply's.
