I have a 2005 Gen 3 vvt manual, it is becoming increasingly difficult to engage gears, can anyone point me in the right direction of what the problem might be?
I’m thinking possibly either the clutch cable needs adjusting (clutch pedal needs to be almost on the floor)
Bush on the bottom of gearlever
or something else?
Car only has 89,000 kms from new.
I don’t think it’s ever been rebuilt and it was main dealer maintained up to when I bought it, it was a one owner car for 17 years, and it has never been off-road. About the only off-roading it does now is driving through orchards, so nothing serious.
All of the above ideas plus check the mount, not just visibly but also try and prise it apart

Just had my gearbox rebuilt 2007 with 69k on the clock. I wasn't having trouble changing gear but gearbox was noisy and giving off a burnt smell. Turned out it was a noisy bearing that was making the whining noise. New clutch fitted as well as it was silly not to.
Coming from an auto transmission to the manual Jimny was a bit of a shock at first but once I got used to it, I found the transmission is pin accurate with maybe a little throttle blip now and then to maintain revs when changing up. I'm hoping for a bit of snow this winter to try out the 4x4 and heated seats.
