I own a four speed manual XE ute, it's currently stuck in first gear and won't select any other gear, not even neutral. Apparently if you be a bit rough, a pin in the gearbox can snap? The gear stick is all floppy but still in first gear... What's the part I need to fix this? Do I need to remove the gearbox/anything else to get to the part that needs replacing? How do I get to it? Thanks boys!

Take the centre console out and have a look to see if the shifter is still in properly. The have a alloy cast thingymejig holding the shifter in place and the shifter screws into that. But the part that screws in is made of plastic and comes loose. It might have come loose and the fork has jammed on the selector. I put a couple of tec screws to hold the shifter in place when I had mine.

my vlt did that....it snapped the selector fork inside the box. and it did it out of no were without even thrashing it at the time!
