[Transmission] Gearbox dying?

[Gadgetman]

So, I was putzing about with my car again...

Just replacing a gear linkage that had rotted away in just a couple of years...
While fighting and swearing at the joint that didn't want to pop into place, I noticed something that got me a bit worried.

There's two levers on the gearbox. One on top and one on the backside.
The lever on top rotates a vertical axle clockwise and anti-clockwise.
but on my gearbox it's also possible to LIFT the lever around 0.5".

That can't be right, can it?

Is it not the reverse selector?I'm not familiar with the Berlingo but on many transmissions the shaft lifts for reverse.I hope I've saved you worry & dosh.
