Thanks for the reply, I unbolted the six bolts that secure the gear selector but it won't lift as it is jammed in place by the cast gearbox mount, also to release the cable ends from the selector do you compress the centre of them?

I have been spraying it with WD40 for a week. Does the gearbox have to be removed to get the turret lifted out, there doesn't seem to be much room between it and the battery tray support.

I have a gearbox problem with my 1.9 Tdi 5 speed, I can only engage 3rd and 4th gear, both cable are free enough, it seems to be the swivel on top of the gearbox won't move any more than a couple of mm, has anyone encountered this before?

My old 1999 Galaxy has a similar problem, I can only engage 3rd and 4th gear, the cables are moving freely but the selector on the top of the gearbox seems to be siezed, what could the cause be?
