   Worn Rubbers on the gear linkage, possibly the rubber ball on the pivot point on the bulkhead, possibly the pin on the gear selector on the gearbox.

   cant just buy the ball.
   
   106 parts sell them http://www.106parts.com/s2/page1.php...4=55&part=8757 they are like 5 quid more from citroen and linkages can be got from kam racing for uprated ones or citreon for the oe ones with the rubber.
