    it is stuck, it feels as if it will break if i force it. I do think the oil needs changing.

    My 2006 Citi Golf hazards goes on by itself, and sometimes does not want to switch of. I have to remove the battery terminal to prevent battery from running down. What solution is there?

Gears stuck

Unlees you have had a loss of gear oil this is unusual.
I would first remove the linkage on the gearbox and see i i could manually move the shifter. Obviously, if i could, then the fault is in the shift rods or lever.
If the gear shift on the bix is jammed, the box will gave to come out for strip down and inspect or get another gearbox.
Cheers
Roger

I have a VW golf 4 that has failed to shift gears and only drives in 3rd gears.

No spare parts sold for this gearbox ,only the rubber pipes so its a factory exchange unit which costs around 2500 euros plus tax
