Car has lost all gears - any idea what the issue could be?
I had the gear linkage changed on my 2004 Renault Scenic recently and have now lost all gears. Do you have any idea what could be wrong?

The linkages are held together with pins that are held in place with split pins. I guess a split pin has dropped out, then the pin dropped out, leaving you with no connection.
