The reverse selection problem is a connected issue with worn gear rod bushes. I got a kit off Flea bay for about a tenner. I fiddly but easy job to do. Problem solved.
As the bushes wear in one plane, a common cheat is to rotate them 90 degrees, buys you a bit of time for money reasons or if you are getting shot of the car....ooops, did I really say that?
