Manual shifter linkage popping out Options

[youngestEVer]

Hello all,

I hope everyone is doing well! I’ve got a 1996 Celica gt convertible, and I’m having an issue with my shifter. I’ll attach a photo of it, but the little plastic ball on the shifter feels very loose as it slides into the white plastic part of the shifter cable. Am I missing a part here? Because it has come off several times now after shifting and I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.

Thanks for any advise!
