MF 40 stuck in forward gear

Recent purchase. Everything seemed to work as it should. This has the manual shuttle shift for reverse and forward. Moved it to a small stump, hooked a chain to the loader to see if I could get it to move any at all, tried to put it in reverse and it is stuck in forward. The shuttle shift appears to be in reverse but when you release the clutch you move forward.
I saw a post that talked about opening the filler cap and pry the shifters forward and/or backward to release the gears.
Any ideas? Does the prying seem appropriate? Thank you.
 
yes, prying works. Done it many times. Keep a large screwdriver or tire tool with you. You will need it at the dangest times.
