Floppy gear lever, not engage to reverse

Post by dexter895 »

I gave my car to my brother and seems he broke my Reverse :lol: and I don't know what he did.
Anyway, gear leaver is now floppy and wobbly in neutral and forward gears working. But don't engage to Reverse.
Is this something I can fix or do I need to take this to a repair shop?
My car is a 1999 Peugeot 406 1.8

Gearbox should be a BE.

From here

Plenty of things to wear out/break. It's probably worth getting your brother to work the gear stick and see if you can spot something amiss under the bonnet. Think you might have to remove the air filter box to see all of it.
