   Was just on my way home tonight coming down a hill, went to change gear to find that my gearstick is just flapping from side to side and will only go forwards into 3rd gear and backwards into 4th. Didnt hear nay noises or anything to indicate that it had happened :/ the gearstick now wont go from side to side at all just forward and back into gear.
   
   Anyone know what has happened and is it easy to fix?

   Linkage popped off or roll pin sheared, look under airbox area in engine bay for something amiss. Linkage will pop back on but will come off again sooner or later so best identify fault and replace with new part.

   Thanks buddy, yeh the pin had just popped out. Managed to squeeze it back in quite tight but I'll just keep an eye on it for now.
