Just been driving along, couldn't select 6 gear!! So dropped it down try another gear.. Gearbox has seemed to have locked!!

Can't select any gear

 

[RS-Tuning]

Had one the other week, the bracket that connects to the turbo had snapped off and fallen into the linkage stopping gear selection so maybe worth a look!

 

[White_R26]

I pray to god, that's all it is!! What price could I be looking at for a repair, just waiting for the aa, can it be fixed roadside to get me home??

Cheers paul

Just put your hand down by the back of the battery tray where the linkage is and see if anything is obstructing it. Simple as that

Will I need to replace anything if that's what it is..

Has the gearbox gone stiff?
Has this on my van,it was the gear selector mechanism sat in the top of the gearbox.

Yer it's locked in neutral, can't select any gear..

If it does end up being the gear selector mechanism,i have a spare brand new one sat in my garage.
It costs £128 from renault.

If it is this ,PM me, and we can sort something out.

That's brill, sweet.. So it's battery and tray out, undo the 8mm bolts and pop off..

 

[Lee in Scunny...]

Don't forget the 10mm bolt on the side of the gearbox or it won't come out.

Yep,first see if anything is obstucting the linkage mechanism first.
Its a large metal bar with a ball stud at one end,and the gearbox cable attached to the other end.

The mechanism itself is held in the gearbox casing with 4 bolts on the top,and one 14mm bolt below the black hydraulic hose,
if u slip your hand down the right handside of the mechanism.

The second picture is what the whole mechanism looks like
The first is with the mechanism removed.
