This is kinda ironic, the same thing just happened to our 806 a little while ago. Inside the speed transmission, there is a small arm and a spring. Either the arm broke off or the spring snapped. Its job is to keep tension on the shifter so that it stays in position. When it breaks, the lever feels very vague and doesn"t want to stay in position, especially in 3rd and 4th gear. The guy we had over to fix it removed the batteries, placed a small hydraulic jack under the fuel tank, removed the supports for the dashboard, and removed the top covers on the speed transmission. When you do this, make sure you don"t drop the little metal rollers underneath the cover into the transmission, otherwise you will have to drain all of the fluids and find them. When the cover is off, flip it upside down and there should be a 3 to 4 inch long spring attached between the cover and the shift plate. If there is no arm or the spring is gone, that is your problem. I"ll see once if I can"t find a picture of the bottom of the cover to help you. I would get a service manual before attempting this, as there are quite a few pieces inside of that transmission. Hope this helped.
