My Ben006 short shifter suddenly became uncharacteristically sloppy. I pulled the center console and saw that the circlip/retaining "e" ring on the front cup had gone missing and the shifter was sloppily riding in only the rear cup. Surprisingly, I had been driving the car like this for a couple hundred miles and it still shifted, sloppy but positively engaging in all gears. One of the sealed precision bearings also came apart. A quick message to Ben and he responded with the bearing size I need. New bearings will arrive from Amazon tomorrow, and I am going to see if I can get the type of external retaining rings on that have the two eye holes and use the retaining ring pliers to get them on. If that will work, they won't ever be able to go missing!
