If it wasn't like that before, he probably just knocked a neighboring shift rod forward or knocked one forward and misplaced the shifter. You will probably have to remove the housing and move the rods back into the neutral position. It's a pain but no damage should be done to the tranny.

If that is the problem I would try to get my money back and wouldn't return.

 

yeah when the old tailshaft was on it moved the/ now when he put the new one on its stuck/ god this sucks i was about to give up on her i mean the motor runs so good never smoked over 150k miles damn i hate to see her go ill take your advice and run with it. rthanks
