it could be disconnected near the latch, and maybe you're feeling the rod that attaches to the door lock? it's a really tight gap between the lock rod and the handle rod, and i've seen the rods completely fall off and hit the bottom of the door, but that doesn't sound like your case. also, the bottom clip should be a two piece clip, one clips in the latch, then a lock goes over the rod and has two tabs that lock it in, maybe it's loose there
