My car wont go into first or second gear without some force... I tried to pull out in front of a tractor and went from first to second whilst not having the clutch fully down, it made that sound of clanking quite badly and I didnt realise I couldn't select 1st or 2nd until coming to a traffic light... 3rd-6th are fine... any ideas?

Sounds like you did some real damage inside the gear case. Now you need to get it to a trans shop before it's damaged worse. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Linkage doesn't make noises as the ones you described. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

It feels as though the gearstick wont fully go into place.. It does go into the gear but when i make the forward movement it feels like im pushing a stick through thick mud, if that makes sense? i've heard elsewhere it could be a Damaged selector fork or syncro mesh hub.

Sure it could but until a trans shops opens it up, you aren't going to know. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.
