On my way home I felt an heard a grinding in first gear when at about 2000 revs. The grinding got gradually worse as I was trying to get home. At one point I lost 1st gear and had to push the car in second to get moving. When I got home my gears completely locked up and could only start the car if the clutch was down. I eventually was able to push the car slightly which made a slight crunch but it released the gears.

Now I can occasionally select all gears when the car is off and without the clutch. When the engine is off I can select all gears when the clutch is used however the reverse is very temperamental.

I have been able to move the car in first a little and reverse. I can find the biting point on all gears but occasionally the gears still completely lock up!

Sometimes there is a grinding when in neutral and the clutch it up and the sound goes when I put the clutch down. Sometimes it sounds fine with the clutch up :(

I have not gone back on the road with the car only moved it back and forth by about 3 meters.

I'm at a loss. Could it be the gearbox, clutch, linkage. I have googled my heart out and most point to the linkage where as a friend says its the gearbox. Someone else has said its the clutch not releasing.

PLEASE HELP ME

regards Mike

We dont' have that car in U.S. But check the cables in the pic on yours and see if they are broken or shifting the levers in the trans, they may not be. I am assuming that the clutch is ok on this. It may be just a cable problem you'll need an assistant to help.
