Hi all,

Driving back from Ft. Collins, CO today, my shift mechanism failed on my '93 MV Eurovan Westfalia. The van now has a very loose stick and can't get into several gears including at least Reverse, 1st, and 5th. What I do know is that both balls at the end of the long t-bar in the diagram (http://goo.gl/va1H3s) are not keeping within their fittings. The left white ball slips out of the circular fitting and the right black ball slips out of the square frame. I'm not sure what is causing these to slip out. I also recently (10,000 miles) had my clutch replaced. Wondering if this should have been noticed and taken care of in that process or instead, is just a standard hazard of owning a 93 Eurovan? Any thoughts on what might be the root problem and if an amateur DIY van enthusiast might be able to fix it. Thanks all. instagram: helgathevan
