Altenator wiring went last week, had that fixed, but it had also cooked the battery, so had that replaced yesterday, then today on quite a hard gear change, "CLUNK" and now the gearstick is right at the top position and i cant get it in 1st or 2nd  Sound like a knackered gear box, mount or linkage do u reckon?
