ahhhh answered my question, this is why i sometmies go from 5th to 4th and hit the reverse gear....cuuurrrruuunnncccchhhh, i thought my gbox was fooked...but i guess its not then......only just had it re-built, thought me mate had made a boo boo..lol
Lee it can't work that way round on your car unless you have a MK4 linkage........although its not un-common for the linkages to be so loose on a MK3 that the gate doesn't work PMSL

The linkage in that orion of mine was SOOOO loose when going from 5th to 3rd, i would move the stick across, back up and go back into 5th

Fuckin awesome things on MK3's are linkages
