    Inlaws borrowed my today car and they wrang and said it wouldnt go into gear. Turns out the bolts under the rubber(the one under the gaitor that goes on the floor) on the shifter stalk came out:p, it may just be worth your while for the quick job it is to check them and make sure there tight on yours.

    I have that problem regularly. one of the countersunk bolts comes out, and the other loosens, making it so you can't select any gear.

    me too,used to happen to me every coupla months....threadlocker improved it a little,but i ended up getting some longer screws,so the end pokes out of the lever a little,and put some nylock nuts on the end....works well

    I had new bolts aswell. but my shifter was modified to be a short shifter, so that probably causes excess vibrations on it.
