Bazz, is the gear mechanism by rods or cables on your car?

Sorry I was confusing it with a 406 - it will have a twin cable system.
Adjustment on these is absolutely critical to avoid future gearbox problems, but the cable ends and swivels will wear, sure enough.
Wear inside the gearbox is unlikely - consider a new set of cables, but I've no idea how much they cost!

Had this trouble with my 406, wouldn't always go into reverse, problem was on the gear lever end of the cable, the ferrule had come loose so the whole cable was being pushed away from the gearbox instead of the centre moving, fixed it with the judicious use of a pair of molegrips, just squashed the ferrule on to the cable - that was three years ago and its still OK.
