gearbox on the way out?

[jeru 0]

hey all, i managed to get myself home today after my gearbox just went on me, i couldnt get it into first or 2nd gear, each time i put it in first..it moved over into third...if i moved it into 2nd..it moved into fourth, the only gear i could get it into was 3rd, i had to keep starting off in third gear, do i need a new gearbox for sure?..how much am i looking at? to buy a reconditioned one and get it fitted?..can anyone point me in the right direction to getting one?..thankyou

Check ALL conections at the gearbox end of cables as something might of broke or came loose

the left right selector cable will be loose almost certainly. have a look yourself. easy fix with a couple of spanners.

Little C clip has come off the selector tower mate.
