So, I had them put back into place, but while driving today they both came out again, which driving.

I'll have the clutch out next week, so I'll be able to take a better look then.

The retaining clips are easily damaged when removing the tranny cable ends. I'm guessing whoever worked on the car last damaged them and reinstalled the cables without buying and installing new retaining clips.

There are very small detent's in the bracket into which the retaining rings must be inserted, You may have to bend them to hold in place or purchase new ones.

Hello I'm having the same symptoms as OP but when friend checked cables underneath today he said they looked good? I took the car for a short drive and it seemed fine after sitting for 7 months. The cables were not loose at all. Is there any other area I should be looking at? I noticed in another thread someone mention pressure plate but if it was that would it only give problem sometimes or all the time?
