:(
You can move the gearstick, select what you think is a gear, the linkage is attached, but is stuck in 3rd, no other gears engage - no neutral either.
Any ideas? New box?

Check the top of the g/box the the nut which holds the selector bracket which has both cables connected to it also the the same bracket was fitted back on the key.
This video explains it better before I would be thinking new box etc.

Gearlinkage is ok, new box I think, anyone know which code it is off this data sheet? (Can it really be GUT? can't find any of them):

Sounds like an internal selector fork issue. They can break. Not common, but it happened on MK4s with the O2M gearbox as well. MK5s use the O2Q which is supposed to be an improvement, but it still happens!

@Pudding
a gearbox specialist has suggested the selector fault too, but I'm unsure whether to have the current box rebuilt with the idea of the selector being at fault (which could be quite a cheap fix) to then discover it needs a shed load of parts to rebuild' ... it does have 155k on it through a lot of hard miles.... Hmm,
Perhaps it's probably better to just grab a second hand box with 50k or so on and swap it out.

Noticed this as a price guide if you go the replacement g/box route

cheers, I've been scanning 'the bay', a few to go at... luckily I've got a few other modes of motion so will wait out a decent low milage box I think. Cheers both! :)

Avoid the same gearbox code. Early boxes have lots of annoying issues. You can use any 02Q box so something 2008 onwards would be best. There is a plastic cap on the end of the box, if it also has a circlip holding it in then that's got the latest bearing.

Well bought that one, got it for £300 delivered which I thought pretty good with the newer type bearings etc. fitted it today, car feels great so far; fingers crossed.
