no reverse

[misty]

Hi All
bit of a problem tried to change gear today with the car not running and it would not get reverse gear,so took out the 3 bolts and removed the gear stick,had a look in and found something i new nothing about,did a little searching and found it was a saddle seen one on ebay but DO YOU THINK THIS IS PART OF THE PROBLEM OF THE REVERSE GEAR before i buy one .
