Car not going into gear sometimes

[Vithu06]

Hi everyone, I'm having a small problem with my car as it doesn't go into gear sometimes I mostly get this in reverse and I have put it in neutral let go of the clutch and put it back into reverse.

 I only get this with reverse,1st and 2nd all the other gears go in fine. I've read before you can change a plastic piece under the gear sector.

It's a six speed gear with 120000 miles

At that age, it could be the slave cylinder, knackered clutch or excessive gear shaft end float.

It's not slotting in

Could always try the gear syncro trick, worth a go and it's something you can do yourself.

Try re-aligning the gear shift cables in case it is not allowing proper selection of the gears

Failing that you either have a clutch issue or a gearbox issue as has already been said
