Stick shift boogie

[NewArt]

So I jump in my car to get to my guitar lesson (jazz ), Throw it in reverse...uh, throw it in reverse... uh, no reverse? Wait, no 1st or 3rd, etc.
Tear out the console, undo the short shift kit which had previously given me problems, check the slide in the cables. Bingo! Jack up the car and crawl under. One of the cables had decided to pop out of it's mount near the transmission. I put it back in but I don't trust that clip anymore. Happily it did this in my garage and not out in the boonies somewhere! A common occurrence?
