Shifter came out while driving. Now in neutral

It's literally laying down in the car. What does this mean - shifter linkage broke or a transmission issue? It was in 4th when in happened and when it broke, it remains in neutral.

So I took off the boot and the pin had come out. I don't see the C clip. Would that be all I need?

probably. you are lucky the pin is not lying in the road somewhere. you can get a c clip assortment at Harbor Freight for 4.99. other wise try the hardware drawers at Ace or comparable Hardware store.

Yeah, got an assortment from the auto parts store but I can't find one that fits right. There is such a small gap.
