On my way home Wednesday & the Medway
Handy Van lost 3rd, 4th 5th & reverse gears!


Interesting mix...

Check...
o Gearbox oil level -- low oil usually means pops out of 5th
o Gearbox linkage -- external to box (& also engine mounts)
o Shifter fork alignment/bent -- internal to box I'm afraid

SNIP

Thanks for sucha comprehensive reply, I appreciate it. First port of call
my regular garage who are brilliant. I assumed it might be a transverse
linkage but they checked everything out & diagnosed a gearbox problem -
didn't even charge me. Trasmission people reckon a shaft of some sort has
snapped.
