    Gear selector linkage is broken. Common fault.

    I doubt it's the gearbox and more than likely the selector. Well pray it is the selector as a gearbox job(removal and replace with a replacement) is expensive and then you may as well change the clutch while at it and inspect the fly wheel(may need to be replaced as well but I doubt it).

    Depends who does it. About 2 hours total for labour plus the parts, costing somewhere between €50-100.
