The same thing happened to me.
Don't forget to by the 99p circlip available separately from VAG,this holds the gear on the end of the cable and stops it falling of next time, :rolleyes:
Or you will have two gears roaming around your box like me :angry:

Note: The circlip will come off with a bit of persuasion, just make sure you have your hands in a box or something with a top to stop it flying off. I did it in the staff room at work and it pinged around the room and ended up in the sink. Muchos fun trying to follow it around the room with your eyes. It's a stubborn bastard i tell thee.
