1st gear when in stays in the middle/centre where 3rd usually is?

Hi cdb

I did everything u said,
I removed the gear lever, removed the rubber gaiter at the gear lever then I took off the bolts holding it, I cleaned and wiped everything there and put everything back as they were,

Now the gear lever behave absolutely brilliant, it still spring to the centre but only little bit. But its much better now than it was before. I don’t know what was wrong, but its much better now than it was before I removed it and cleaned it.
I feel I have a new car now.

Thank you very much for your help, God bless u.

Not sure but you could check the selector below the gear lever,remove the rubber gaiter at the gear lever to expose the four bolts holding on the gear lever,when removed I think there is a red coloured bush with brass insert,check it for wear,also where that bush is located at the end of the selector shaft there is a pinch bolt which sometimes sheared,maybe worth a look also,good luck.
