All odd numbered gears lost.....

Okay, about 10 miles from home I lost all odd numbered gears on my -94CSE manual. So that's 1st, 3rd and 5th. Jeez, I thought boy that's another 2000 well spent to put it right, dropping the tranny is a major effort.
I was on my way to pick up a new waste gate actuator (old one weak, can't hold boost with the uprated s/w) and so I just kept driving on on 2nd and 4th.
10 more miles and I happended to glance at the shifter again..... and there it was ! I had the cell phone charger plugged in the cigarette lighter and the lighter itself was in one of the small compartments in the dash... the last full throttle acceleration had sent the lighter flying and it was stuck between the shifter and the gaiter. Oh man, sohumiliating but relieving.....
Oh, the waste gate actuator works fine, I'm able to adjust the base boost correctly and the boost taper is significantly less now at high revs = exhaust flow rates.
