Cable retaining clips coming off

[135sohc]

While commuting to class yesterday evening in rather heavy traffic I heard 'tink-tink!!!' and through feeling the shifting effort knew one of those damn little clips had come off Babied it there and on the drive home so the cable would not completely come out of the bracket and leave me in a no-shift situation.


There was a problem and I had a permanent solution


Decided to do the other ends as well..

Wow. I've never had that problem before. I'm usually lucky to get them off without killing myself.

I've had the outside ones fall off before. Never the shifter side though.

I had the shifter side pipe off on me a few weeks ago in my dynasty when i was messing with an 05+ 4.6 mustang.. as if i needed help losing that one..

I had an inside one come loose before but never actually come off completely. outside ones the rear one I've had it work its way around so the closed end was @ the bottom but never fall out. Selector cable on both ends so I think its due to how that cable moves alot more than the crossover one.
