Gear shift cup and ball joint

[brewstu]

Morning people,
My gears went all floppy on me last week for the first time on the motorway so I pulled over and noticed the small cup and ball joint in the engine bay had popped off.
Put it back on and set off all good. Driving to cardiff on saturday it happened twice untill i fixed it in place with a hair band that got me there and home.
Now Im looking for a new cup section, anyone know what I need to look for?
Cheers

Stu

More like one of the link rods. Check the price from your local dealer first, bearing in mind that you have to add on the shipping charge from the above site.

As an aside - if anyone wants a Bonnet Stay Clip, don't buy one on its own from the above - as a shipping charge of £3.50 for a 60p item is somewhat excessive

yes but if your buying lots of stuff from them they do put it all together in one packet for you!

Cheers guys, after cross refrencing sugestions its the short link rod I need.
My local Europarts just down the road are getting one in tomorow for me.
Hopefully have no more loss of gears
Thanks

particularly as they're still available in the dealer ;) iirc it's a revised item, so you'll need a semi-competant parts guy, or you'll just get told it's obsolete

There's a guy on CGTI that makes these using stainless
