Manual Gearbox

I blew up my gearbox at Winton. I was trying a little too hard I think. I was keeping up with the more powerful cars though, so it was the little car that could for a while, then it couldn't anymore.
Basically unable to select 2nd, 4th or reverse, so it appears that I have bent or broken a selector rod in the box.
So anyway I need this asap, if anyone knows of one for sale please let me know. Vic preferred.

I dont reckon its as bad as you might think. If its 2nd, 4th & reverse you're missing, then Im willing to put a $50 on the fact that you've either snapped a selector cable or busted one side of the selector bracket on top of the box.

Just checked it out and you are correct Bennoz - the rubber bush on the lower bracket has failed. Looks like you've saved me plenty of money - thanks!
