you say flopping around could you select any gears? was it in a gear and not coming out of gear?

if you can select gears i would take a guess at the springs that center the gear stick if you cant then i would suspect the selector or gearbox to be damaged in some way im sure with a little more info there will be someone on here with a lot more insight than me though.

might be the mechanism that connects gearstick to the selector rods

thanks guys it was the plastic end on the gear selector that keeps it in place. found the rod dangling after you guys gave me some ideas. got replace whole bar. at mo large cable tie holding it in place and working well...
