Any gearbox experts out there? My manual gearbox is screwed....
Reversed out my drive this morning.....totally fine.....ok, need to go forward.....I go to select 1st gear - it's not there, gear stick won't even move to the left....
In fact it won't move left or right at all. It moves up and down (towards 3rd and 4th) with and without the clutch down, but does not have that clink where it feels like it has gone into gear, it's kind of loose in a sense, when moved up or down. When the gear stick is 'in' neutral it is slightly off the normal neutral position, it is slightly more to the right than it normally would be + when I use the clutch in this 'neutral' position it finds the biting point, but doesn't want to go forward, it just stalls.
Reverse gear works fine.
The clutch feels fine.
Any ideas what's up?
Cheers.

Haha. Yes. Exactly what I was thinking....that money and maybe more will be going on fixing this. Not just this, as I also have a bigger tyre that needs replacing.llama wrote:Well you were wondering what to do with that £500 you won on em's horsey horseys.
Don't think I'll be splashing those winnings on any bets now. All will be going towards my effed car.

Had it picked up and taken to a garage. They just phoned me and said a cable had snapped. I think they may have mentioned what the cable was called, but I didn't really take it in. I don't see how it can be a clutch cable as the clutch felt totally fine, but then again - I know nothing about cars....
Any ideas what the cable that has snapped could be? What is its name? A quick google: Transmission cable - maybe?
Going to cost around £170 to get fixed including labour - which I can live with. Was thinking it could end up being a lot more than that.

Could have saved £170 by just reversing everywhere.
