[T3] Puzzled by shifting troubles


My wife took the Squareback to work this morning, and I got a call in the
afternoon that she could suddenly no longer select first or second.  She limped
home (only a couple of miles), and I found that I could select reverse, third,
or fourth reliably.  However, if I tried to select first or second, it would
catch third or fourth.  It never selected a false neutral.  The linkage felt a
lot sloppier than it had recently.

It's raining hard here, so I haven't looked underneath the car as yet, but I'm
puzzled as to what the problem could be.  My first thought was the coupler in
the linkage had partially broken, but I can't imagine you'd be able to select
reverse if this were the case.  The bolt holding the 1/2 shift fork can't have
backed out, or it would just select a neutral instead of first or second (so
I'd think).

Any guesses?
