Possible bent/damaged selector. If its a dog box its got no syncro's. I'm assuming you mean straight cut gears with syncro's.

Has someone got an image of the "gearbox Witch"? Lol.

It sounds like something in the select mech is bent or your selector rod is touching the floor. (common with dodgy short throw shifters from E-Bay)

Has anyone fugged with anything there recently? Or has the crossmember off or anything?

As long as the gears aren't rooted (it sounds like they are ok) then it won't be expensive to fix. Shift rods and forks are plentiful in busted gearboxes in the corner of everyone's shed.

I had a similar problem before, turns out one of my selector pin disintegrated! Till this day, I still dont know how it happened.
