My mondeo has lost all gears, even with the clutch up, I can select gears with the engine running, so I am assuming the linkage has come off ... What normally breaks/ is it an easy fix?

 

depending on year they are cable or rods, being a mk2 it will probably be rods. there are two which attach to the bottom of the gear lever.they push on like a ball and socket, seems a bit odd that both would have come adrift presuming it is that.

 

Seems to be something more serious , both linkages are connected and moving, but got no gears. Think it is a dead box, so car is going in the bin

 

not good, shame its going in the bin. why not ebay it for spares or repair???

 

thats what i mean, but dont think it is worth saving, needs 3x tyres and a drivers seat at the very least, and MOT is due in Nov...
