Ive had gear selection problems for over a year, stiff 2nd gear and then not fully engaging in 2nd & reverse. I thought it might be the bearings on the linkage but when i checked the cables going to the gear lever one was bent, this i sraightened and adjusted cables as per. Haynes manual.Problem is now solved, just wish i had checked cable adjustment ages ago.But you never think its going to be that easy lol
