Glad it broke there! In my experience/opinion the selector mechanism on the inside of the box could be described as being a bit lightweight in spite of the good name generally implicit in German engineering. My advice would be to double check the setup so to be sure that nothing on the way back into the gearbox is out of alignment.
Cheers

Sticks are not interchangable, Get it cored,sleeved and welded up, they were a poor design from new
