Gearbox problem

[yasinb]

I have a Mk 4 Golf GT TDi (2002) 6 speed Model, the problem I am having is that the car does not move in 1st or 2nd gear, when I put it in 3rd the car moves. Also when I put it in 1st or 2nd it seems really loose like it has not slot in properly.

Can anyone advise me on this, help needed urgently.

Thanks

either your shift cables are not adjusted properly or the 1-2 shift fork in the transmission is bent

Can you please advise me how to check these.

Thanks
