Hey, for a few weeks my car has been pretty hard to change gear and reverse crunches, so i replaced the old nylon linkage arm thing for a metal one and it was fine for a few days but reverse still crunched, now today i got in the car to come from work and it wouldnt go into gear at all, gear stick felt like it was going to snap if i pushed it any harder, i had to turn the car off, select 1st then start the car and drive back home with my hazards on, i did get it into 2nd a few times by seriously ramming it and if i stoped i would have to turn the car off and start it in 1st again, any ideas why its doing it?

Try adjusting your clutch cable. Mine stretched loads and had to keep tightening it.
