I was hoping this might just be a problem with the gear linkages, so I put it up on stands this morning and had a look, there was no obvious problem, I could shift between 3, 4, 5 and R by moving the linkage by hand or with multi-grips, but not get to 1 or 2.

Any Ideas what would cause this kind of issue, if its fixable, or if I'm in for a new gearbox?

Thanks, Alex
ryan had the same issue but his problem was that the gearbox mounts broke. check all our mounts and make sure everything is a.ok. check the rear gearbox mount first as that is want broke on ryans car.
