Reinie a couple quick questions to you and all:
I have an '09 standard in the shop now getting the detent spring replaced since it broke too - same symptoms as you, false neutrals and jumping out of gear. Anyway, when yours broke, did they find the broken piece? I hoped mine would be on the drain plug magnet, unfortunately not. Tomorrow they are taking off the sump - really hoping its sitting in the pan.
Just wondering where it could travel too / and DAMAGE it could do. Anyone have any thoughts or experiences? The piece we're looking for is the size of a small fish hook.
