had to set off from lights taking years off the clutch 
anyway gets home let her cool down so i dont burn my arms, takes a look and seen the arm thingy with to thingys on them what ball thingys go into. luckyly it was wendged on somthing so didnt fall out the engine bay 
stuck it back on and all seems fine, but this happend the other day too, but only one end of it came off is there anything i can do to stop this hapening apart from giving the car some stick when changing gears

i change gear like i'm trying to rip the gear stick off, or at least i did last nite. i'll go and take the bit off and get some pics and maybe knock up a langey drawing (technical diagram) and we could maybe all club together for a solution.
