I have problems engaging my Dub in first and second gears.
Does this mean I have to replace the gearbox?
If this is the case what is the best way to do that?
All advice gratefully received…..I miss driving my car

most likely you need to adjust the clutch cable and/or the linkage. Wear in the linkage is common and the bushes are easy to replace, but getting the linkage lined up properly to be able to select all five gears can be time-consuming.
