    My car has suddenly stopped going into first or second gear,the stick just won't move into position...i can take off(carefully) in third and all the other gears are working.

    I reckon the clutch cable could be slipping out of its place,anybody got any otehr ideas?

    The car is due NCT soon and i want to get it sorted but if it's going to cost a lot of money i'll get rid of it instead.

    Can you put 1st and 2nd gear, when engine is off?

    Then it's rather gearbox failure. Nothing to do with clutch

    Actually sounds like a gear linkage to me, same symptoms as when it happened to my Polo.

    What's the prognosis then?

    Will it cost much to get fixed?
