Renzo, Your problem is a wear & tear issue that was probably exascerbated by the rebuild - had that happen to me once upon a time whilst driving in Washington, DC. Manually set the shifter in 3rd gear and faked it all the way home. The only problem is that you'll now have to drop the entire shifter box as well.
