722.6 valve body installation

When installing the valve body in a 722.6, what is the right position for the selection rod that extends from the valve body? All the way in? I had trouble getting the valve body back in the sedan. The selector pin wasn't engaging the slot at the end of the valve body rod. I guess the rod shifted from how it was when I pulled it. Even with the detent spring out of the way I can't see well enough to align pin and slot.

Is there a way to move the shift lever without a battery?

I think I figured out what happened. If you pull the rod to the far end stop, you can rotate the plastic thing off its track and pull the rod out of the valve body. I think I put it back without engaging the plastic thing in its track. The pin broke the plastic thing when I put the shift lever in gear. Lesson learned. All good now.
