Hey guys,
Having problems with the manual gearbox. I cannot move the gearstick left from its neutral positon at all, meaning I cant get to 1st or 2nd gear. I ended up having to drive all the way home in 3rd last night - not fun. 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
