1993 BMW 325 Two Wheel Drive Manual

I have a BMW 325i K reg Manual. The gearbox has always been a little bit crunchy. Brought second hand. I was driving along the other day in third gear when i went to change to fourth it would not allow me to. I then pulled over and looked at car. The gears would now only go into second and firth and this is with some difficulty and a lot of crunching. The gear box feels light and gear stick wobbly as though there nothing there. What would you think could be wrong with it?

The shifter platform has somehow gotten loose. http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=CB33&mospid=47498&btnr=25_0013&hg=25&fg=05
