At first the problem was that it took forever and a lot of roughness to get the truck into first gear. It was pretty rough for all the gears really, but 1st was the hardest. I tried to put it in reverse but there was a lot of grinding so i just avoided reverse. Later on I was driving it to get it serviced and it got stuck in 2nd gear. The shifter just wobbles whichever way it wants. I stalled and hobbled back to my house from there. I want to fix it myself, but i don't know where to start.

HI there,

I feel for you the cheapest and quickest option is a second hand gear box, i would also be doing the clutch at the same time,
