Check the circlip on the shifter shaft, the fat one that goes into the gearbox with the splined end. if you pull it outwards (leftwards - don't worry you can't pull it right out) and look for the groove and its circlip that should be only just outside of the gearbox casing. It might be under a ton of crud. check the circlip is in place, otherwise the shaft can move inwards too far and disengage from the shifter gubbins that sit under the clutch on the right side of the engine. If it's in place then the shaft will have minimal in/out movement as the circlip stops it going inwards. I dropped mine on the left and the circlip popped out, it stayed on the shaft (tight fit) but wasn't doing its job any more.
