Hi guys hope everyone's we'll, ok so whilst driving along 1st gear tried putting it into 2nd gear but wouldn't go in, pulled over and realised it wouldn't go into any gears, it's stuck in neutral solid, is it the gearbox that's fooked, or could it be a linkage problem? Any ideas?

Is this with the engine running or does it make no difference? Could it be clutch related? Slave cylinder for example.

Engine off/On no difference mate, the gearstick is stuck in neutral. What's the best way to check if it's clutch related or gearbox related?

sssssteeeee

a similar thing happened to me , couldn't get car into any gears at all, in the end I managed to damage my 3rd gear synchro. but the way I got things going again was , put car into 4th or 5th and turn engine over this seemed to free off something in clutch area, thrust bearing I think. hope u get your car going , not nice at all, I know.

sssssteeeee

are there any noises when u try to engage a gear? if theres nothing at all then linkage might not be doing its job. does the gear **** seem free to move or stuck solid? no movement at all?

Thanks guys, yeh gearstick is solid, doesn't move at all, doesnt make any difference with engine switched on or off, No noises what so ever, at junction i floored it in 1st gear when I went to select 2nd gearstick wouldn't move.

Linkage sounds like it's jammed. Never heard of this happening before, but it might be worth clambering underneath to see if it's fouling against the transmission tunnel.

Had a look underneath as best I can, the linkage is solid doesn't move at all, really don't know what to do..
