let me get this right

from that pic you cannot disconnect that ball socket thing from the plate that mounts to the gearbox so if i get the tt shifter will come with the piece thats broke on mine the cable is intact just that end that broke

sorry its a little confussing  :cool:

Yep the TT part comes with the new plastic part - It is just the plastic part that is broken on yours isn't it?
