I dropped the propshaft so a recon shop can have a look at it as it may be out of balance.
Whilst underneath the car I looked up at the remains of the rubber bushes that hold on the remote extension. Apart from needing lots of extra thin hands I eventully replaced the bushes with the housing in situ. All was fine until I stirred the gearstick to find it stuck, nothing moving.
Even though I was careful not to move the housing about much, the extension shaft had still managed to drop off the selector shaft's pin at the back off the box.

I ended up stripping off the gearstick topside and removing all the new bushes so I could engage the pin again. I lost a good few hours as I found my way through this. Hopefully you won't make the same mistake.
