mk3 8v Clutch / Gearbox Problems

[BeNiNuK]

Ok, yet another problem.

Its a golf mk3 2ltr 8v

i was driving along and the clutch was slipping slightly, then all of a sudden the gear stick went loose and was able to move all the way to the left and right!  , but the clutch has to be in, the car seems to be stuck in a gear, but will come out when u press the clutch in, but u cant change the gear.

I have had a recon gearbox put in about 7 months ago, so this shouldnt have gone.

Sounds like the linkage has come loose from the gearbox somehow, not an expensive job.  can you get under the car to inspect the linkage?

cant really get under there but thats what i have been told about the linkage, any recomendations where u can get this done cheap around the leeds area? or isit DIYable? and prices on the parts?

£7 from stealers!

left right gear linkage rod! (your one mite even pop back on its ball joint! mine did)

If the gears are stiff and your having to force them change the gearbox oil!
