Mend Toyota Matrix Driving 3rd 4th

What just happened to my transaxle?

I was driving my '04 Matrix, and when shifting from 3rd to 4th, felt nothing. There was no noise or anything to indicate id just broken something, just didn't grab gear. The top end of the shifter (R,1,3,5) work normally, but the low side with 2-6 feels like there's nothing there. I can still upshift through those gears if my lever position is perfect, but I cant feel them engage- I don't know if i'm in gear until I let the clutch out. Any ideas?

That's what it seems like- it feels like the lower half of the shifter cage just fell off. All of the external linkage looks good, which is bad... That unit is a major job to remove.
