done what my V8 did, there is a selector arm which has a pin through it that had fallen out, it needs a full strip down of the gearbox :'( :'( unless it is a gear gone it will most like fail again with out new parts

hope this helps

Got a gearbox from one of those lying in my shed if you want it could be cheap !
