You might have snapped your shift pin...

If so this can be fixed and you're quad will run fine again.

Before you tear your engine apart, check out this video that NormalZ and I produced.

Tom (NormalZ) explains every thing you need to know about this repair and gives a few other explinations on what other problems that happen with the shifter.

I have heard that the 2008 engine is slightly different than the 06 and 07's, so if you install the shift pin relocator make sure you purchase the correct one per model year. The install will be the same.

Defiantly sounds like the shift pin. When you tear it down take a good look at your case and make sure you didn't crack it. That can be typical of breaking the shiftpin. If your warenty is good, they will cover the case if cracked.
