Hi there,

You will have to identify whether it is a shifter problem or a gear box problem. If the clutch hydraulics are working and it is hard to select a gear, first have the gear box oil level checked. If OK, have the selector cables checked for smooth operation, this is something that your mechanic can do quickly.
