Your linkage part of it is under the console and also check the end where it connects to the transmission there is a pin that connect shifting linkage to a transmission shifting pin alot of the time those pins that connect the two snap or fall out you can drill it out and or find a bolt and nut to fit it as a replacement

It is possible youve torn the synceonizers up in the transmission those hondas are not meant to be drag raced unless its built right a used transmission will cost u 250
