Gearbox fallen to left? second gear hard to find,

Post by cal »

hey, my fto was unused for about a month, then i got in and drive it for a few days, to find occasionally second gear was getting hard to find, and the gear feels loose. i have dropped the ca r off at my mechanic and when it got there i could barely get into second at all. the gearstick seems too far to the left, but my mechanic does not know what the problem would be, i thaught it would be a mount or something. any hepl please?

No, should be held in by a clip that goes into a groove in the cable
