Manual won't engage 2nd and reverse gears
Anyone have any clues ??
Thanks
 
If it goes into first gear it’s unlikely to be clutch related so sounds as if it could be a selector pawl or at least something that might be sortable or reachable from within the cabin by accessing the top of the box

How do I get in to the box ?

If it is that, via the carpets and trim covering the gear stick. However, I’m wondering if you do much car work?

Will it select all the other gears without any abnormal resistance or nasty noises?

Is the gearstick in its usual position? Ie could an engine or gearbox mount have failed?
These manual boxes are normally pretty tough.
