there's a plastic cone on the end of the cable which is only a few quid from vw or gsf. i had to get one a little while back as i done the same thing! mines still floating about in the g/box though

yeah so is mine and now i have problems selecting fifth gear so worth taking the time to get it out if u can

cheers, will buy a new end bit.  Had problems selecting reverse today what a nightmare.  Ended up breaking a gear rod selector thingy.  Got a new one and had to ram it into gear to solve th eproblem.  Will it eventually just get mashed up in there or will it piss me off again sometime?  ta

it should just end up getting mashed up, my gearbox seizes sometimes, gonna give it another month or so then drain the fliud to get rid of as much as i can, would recomend u doing the same
