I am starting to get scared. Starting about a week ago, when cold and parked I cannot put the car in any gear. When stationary and a little warmer(50deg) it will just about go into gear with pressure on the g stick, ( I am worried incase I break or bend something in the G box)However once moving, gear changes are a bit better if still clunky. When at full temp its not to bad but it aint good either. Pumping the clutch makes no difference.

Any ideas? Please tell me its something cheap like the clutch hydraulics and not a clutch change or a dying box.

All help appreciated.

Have you checked the clutch fluid? It's under the cover on the driver's side of the engine bay.
