I hate to see that but...wild. Hope they got it all back together right!

Yes, they did. The car drives great again, and the shifting is nice and crisp. First gear is a little hard to get into (sometimes requiring me to go through 2nd beforehand), but considering that I've been without the car for five weeks, I'm going wait until my oil change in four months time, and see if it loosens up before I ask the Lotus dealer to check into that. It may or may not need Kitkat's shifter plate adjustment.
