Foot gear shifter question
While driving my bike yesterday, I went to shift and noticed that the shifter was hanging down and the linkage was not connected to the foot shifter.
So I need to know if the linkage to the ball joint going into the foot shifter is missing something to keep it in place and not fall out, or if it is pressed into the foot shifter and I need to order a new shifter?

There should be a keeper nut on each of the shaft ends that you tighten against the
ball joints, to prevent it doing what it did. My guess is they weren't secured and the
whole thing vibrated loose. If you take the rod to a hardware store, you should be
able to get new ones if they were lost.

Thanks for the help. I think we are talking about two different sections of the linkage though.
I wasn't talking about where the rod goes into the ball joint and can be adjusted with the nuts, but where the ball joint seats into the foot shifter itself in the back close the the chain side. the rod is connected to the ball joint, but the ball joint is out of the socket on the shifter and there is nothing keeping it in place.
Thanks again for helping!

....as a matter of fact, this shift lever on ebay looks to be identical to yours. And i would not buy it!

The rubber boots
How do you replace just the rubber dust shields mine on my bike are completely shot and I need to replace them?
