forst, replace your gear linkage bushes, you can get a kit on ebay!http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2459207576&category=9889

If than it do't work, it cold be the sycromesh, i'm told this is a common problem, than its a case of repair or replace, there is one on ebay!

A recon box will be a few hundred, a couple of hundred labour.
So i guess you could get it done for about 500 bar  :)
