I recently jacked the car up to inspect all the brakes and in doing so put the car in gear to help stop any rolling along with the usual wheel chocks.
After finishing the job on the brakes I dropped it back to the ground and tried to move off.
Obviously putting the clutch down to start, no problem but trying to select a gear was impossible. Lifting the clutch the car moves forward, seemingly stuck in 3rd but unable to change to any other gear once the clutch is depressed again !!
I got underneath and saw both the selector and crossover cables still connected to both the gearbox and gearstick (removing surrounding centre console).
From inside the engine bay, underneath the air intake pipe and brake master cylinder, I am able to manually move the selector in and out a fair way but not any side to side motion and the crossover also seems to move OK?
Some have suggested the clutch release bearing but I think this is ok as the car goes into neutral again when depressed.
I am also able to physically push the car (why didn't i get a lighter one!) up and down the drive over some distance (with the engine off/nobody at the wheel) and the engine/box vibrate at certain times as it seems to go through a gear but I am able to push through it ok ????
Does anyone have any ideas ? Gearbox selector problem ?
