stuck in 3rd

[latza]

thers a 51 plate 172 round the corner for me, owner says its stuck in 3rd, he has no money to fix it, but gear linkage looks bent.

what else could it be? clutch?
needs a new box?

how much would i make if i split the car?

might offer him a cheeky £1000

Probs be an internal box fault, could be sorted for a few hundred quid if your handy with a spanner. Depends how much he wants rid/the money I guess.

Mine got stuck in gear after I ran over a cone at about 70mph.

Thought it was just the linkage had taken a knock so ordered a new one and got Rentech to fit it.

They tried but no joy...gearbox ended up either still in gear when neutral was selected, or it locked itself up by slecting both 3rd and 5th at the same time apparently.

So what seemed to be a simple selection problem was actually the gearbox slowly eating itself internally.

New gearbox - £250 secondhand off someone on here plus the fitting so about £600 all in.
