Car bottom out! help?

[rob5gt]

Hi i went to a beach in Cornwall today and I parked up and i went on a verge and my car bottomed out

i couldnt select a gear and i was stuck

some lads gave me a push but it didnt work

i then stalled it which knocked in back

I am worried what i did and now my gearbox is a bit slack if you know what i mean

what did i do and will my gearbox be ok?

Maybe you bent the gearbox linkage/ or even gear box mount? Im not expert its just the first more cheaper things I would look at

Probably damaged the gear linkage imo.

oh no ! err what can be done about that ? i know nothing? and will it be ok to ignore it ?

Im not a confident mechanic myself and never dabbled with that part on my car.. yet lol but I would say the more you ignore it the worse it gets, the harder it is to get into gear. So get it to a mechanic asap whilst you still can. A linkage isn't too expensive I should have thought

Probably bent the gear linkage/mechanism under the box. Get it looked at and maybe worth a chat with clio spares.
