bahahahahaha!
On a serious note I know of someone who has this fall out!

[1380rich]

Mine fell out aswell ... Made a right mess of the lay-by I stopped in lol

[RayBoogs]

which side? :S

looking at the car, bottom left hand side of the gearbox, it should be in a little recess.

Personally if you and your mate thought that was the oil drain then i think you both should think twice about an oil change before you damage your car, get some hands on advice from a local club member or enrol in a basic car servicing course at your local college would be my advice.

Also remember to do this with the engine switched off....

And drain in to a big enough can, bigger than 1 UK gallon, 8 pints, 4.5 litres etc....

For the selector pivot spindle to fall out there must have been something seriously wrong with the gearbox, as it's fairly firmly held in by a 3/8" UNF nyloc nut....

They can leak... as there's an O ring seal in there which can perish and more often than not is over looked when gearboxes are put back together.
