    Can't select 5th and 6th gears

    Hi All,
    We have a 2008 Transporter 6 speed manual and when I go to put it into either 5th or 6th gear, there is nothing there. I can select the gear but it is just in neutral.

    Any thought of what it can be?

    Maybe get someone to operate the lever and then a second person to get under the car SAFELY to see if there is some sort of linkage problem .I have the same model but a couple of years earlier 2005 . Im not sure if there are any linkages directly under the shift stick where the gear lever boot is but also worth checking .I,ll have a poke around in mine later and see if there is something to point you towards for a fix .
