This happened to me about a week after installing my short shifter. The shifter linkage bolt is probably loose/ fallen out on the road. When this happened, my bolt was really loose and I couldn't shift in gear, only neutral. My stick sort of laid to the side.
Hope this helps.

There is a spring that is supossed to be connected to the linkage near the shifter if that spring is not connected your shift lever will wobble.

I believe what you placed around shifter will stop the shifter from popping up, the spring I was refering to alows the shifter to maintain it's upright position, so that its not slopping all around.
