Car booked in a weeks time for megasquirt fitting. Attempted a drive yesterday, but she wouldn't go into 1st or reverse gear.
Clutch there and at a push can select 2nd onwards.
Don't we just love our cars!

Guessing I have to jack it up with the limited space I have. Easy to fix and locate?

Before you start, try lifting up the gearstick vertically. If it moves up and down an inch or more then its those bushes. Replace bushes from underneath but a very quick bodge is to tie-wrap the remote cradle to the chassis rail which will get you back on the road.
