I think there is a set screw at the pedestal (I think on the forward side). Pretty hard to get to it.

It's the same as a bicycle brake cable. It's a solid wire that is run down a outer tube. Each end of the tube is secured in position and the wire slides inside. Move one end of the wire and the opposite end moves the same. If everything is good at the Transmission end, the problem is at the pedestal end. The tube is secured inside the pedestal and the wire is fastened to the lever there, inside the pedestal. Usually, you can see both by pulling the compass on top of the pedestal. It helps to look at the Edson website for their help videos. I shared that link earlier.

This will also move the lever at the wheel pedestal. I would move the transmission lever to neutral, forward and reverse positions and check that the pedestal lever positions agree.

To summarize, the shift cable suddenly could not shift the gearbox properly. Looking at the gearbox side, the cable conduit ends may have moved and caused the issue. I've verified the cable at the engine end did not change I took a couple of pictures at the control end of things: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nXEiGVBoIcaEGtVxav6felcClgAVns2b/view?usp=sharing<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdrive.google.com%2Ffile%2Fd%2F1nXEiGVBoIcaEGtVxav6felcClgAVns2b%2Fview%3Fusp%3Dsharing&data=04%7C01%7C%7Cc82ccb8fb82444f965b308d901dbf7d8%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637542866526895605%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=hP0XY2aFWDqkOTWQ7s%2BiOB6gHS1f9iBiM5ZZu5fKbPA%3D&reserved=0> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-Lji9SQ1EPGDig2bngtrdwHd4I0moIBa/view?usp=sharing<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdrive.google.com%2Ffile%2Fd%2F1-Lji9SQ1EPGDig2bngtrdwHd4I0moIBa%2Fview%3Fusp%3Dsharing&data=04%7C01%7C%7Cc82ccb8fb82444f965b308d901dbf7d8%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637542866526895605%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=AotqngLTPz7iZFcw8oWNo1zMmLuSEvwAFDlivi%2F1kd4%3D&reserved=0> I am thinking something got loose at the pedestal side, the conduit end bracket might got loose; however I could not find the screw that sets the distance of the conduit end from the control lever.
