GTV V6 gear selection troubles

[robsco]

Hi all.

Struggling with fifth and sixth gears in my 1998 GTV V6. Has anyone else suffered this? Fifth is difficult to engage, sixth can be found with a lot of trouble (lifting the reverse collar and stirring the gear lever around eventually finds it). The car wants to jump straight back to fourth even when applying gentle pressure towards the driver when attempting to engage sixth from fifth. Hoping it will be a simple fix.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for this, I will investigate. It's merely an annoyance at the moment but will need rectifying going forward.
