turned out to be the ball/socket bolt -- it had come out of the aluminum part into which it should have been threaded. i don t know if it was excessive and agressive shifting which tore it out, or if the aluminum had not been threaded correctly leading to its tear out. the latter is the conclusion of the mechanic, who says that at some point the shift linkage also pulled off the ball/socket end.
i found that little bolt on the ground near where i had been parked, after his comments that everyone was wondering where the ball bolt was.
