The shifter being so far out of adjustment may be all it was. That's not the linkage part I thought you needed. Some of those don't even have a extra clip on them and you can probably buy a ball socket at the local auto parts house to replace the entire socket if you don't find it. I've got one here you could have but the problem is shipping. It'd probably take 2 weeks to get to you and cost more 4 shipping than a whole new socket assy.
