Anyone got any advice?
Thanks for the responses. It's the coupling (number 11) that has split into 2 parts, with each still connected to the rod (front) and the next section into the gearbox. If clamp these back together with mole grips then I regain a working gear shifter but there is no obvious way to bodge these together to allow me to dare drive home. There's no holes to pass a bolt or other fixing through. It looks like the 2 halves are bound together by some sort of plastic/rubber material that has failed over some time. Earlier today I was having trouble finding 2nd gear... It kept wanting to go into 4th instead. Before today I've had no other issues.andy f wrote: I guess you need to see where it has come disconnected number 7 or number 11. Maybe just one of your secrews ( number 8 ) has undone

That's exactly what the wife said when I tried this. She's now passing on her thanks to you for your sensible adviceNik wrote: It's worth considering that if the fix fails on the road, you'll be in a more dangerous location, so worth considering getting recovered from your current safe location.
Hope this helps and best of luck.

How easy is it to find 1st or 3rd with no coupling? I wiggled it in as far as I though it would go with my mole grips and it felt like I'd selected a gear but not sure whichstu(pid) wrote:You need the gearbox to be in first or third
