Hi, I'm looking for any ideas or experience of this. I have a 987.1 manual and suddenly can't select 5th or reverse gear. Up to this point in time, I've never had any previous problems with 5th gear, but recently been having some occasional trouble with reverse sometimes taking 2 attempts to get fully engaged.
When checking the cables, clips and connections, I noticed that a bracket (circled red) was part broken and is slightly out of position. This appears to be causing the linkage (blue arrow) to sit lower than it should, and so restricts the movement of the lateral selector cable (yellow arrow). I can select and drive through gears 1 to 4 with no issues.
I'm just looking to know if this bracket issue is the cause of my problem, or a symptom of another problem.
Thanks
