Car was shifting fine this weekend, went to take it out tonight and the reverse gear was not working. I pushed it out of the garage and took it for a drive to see if warming the transmission up would help - it didn't - and also revealed that I cannot enter fifth gear either.

Previously I would get a small amount of grinding on 3rd gear shifts, I double clutch now and no problems. And sometimes I am not able to engage 4th gear.

I pulled back the shift boot and the bushings look yellow/worn, I will replace these. I also took a look at the shift coupler, I don't have anything to compare it to but there is no obvious signs of anything broken.

There is a fair amount of play in the shifter when in neutral.

I'm going to try and adjust the coupler this weekend. I see this has happened to folks in the past, and am curious if changing out the bushings fixed the problem, or if it was something more serious.

Thank you.
