Has it gotten worse rapidly or been like this for a long time?
Sounds like gear linkage is getting worn.
Maybe someone else know better.

Hi
There is 162000 km on it.

For all the symptoms you describe above would they involve having to take the gear box out of it ? :-(

Not all no.
Start with linkages then mounts and try a gear oil change after that its gearbox out.
