12 plate KA problems being that you go into a gear like reverse and you cant force it out only way is to turn car off and it then slips out of gear.
It has also done this in first gear. checked underneath and looks all the gear linkages are ok. Any help would be great as this is becoming more regular issue. No problem getting gears only problem is getting out of them?

Sounds like clutch drag to me. Strange that it only happens when coming out of gear, usually does it when putting it in gear. Is the clutch pedal soft?

[Hometune]

You can definitely get reverse without any crunching or difficulty?

Clutch pedal is hard only seems to get stuck in a gear and no crunching on the gears?
Also seems to be lower gears or reverse.

You need to have the clutch travel checked to ensure it is moving fully and clearing so as not to cause clutch drag.

Thanks Hometune its at garage now just thought would get some ideas will update when fixed.

Just remembered. Your car has the same engine and gearbox as the Fiat 500. The gear lever mechanism on them sticks. Simply pull up the gaiter that is fitted around the gear lever - it is just a push fit - and you will see the mechanism. This should be well greased. You can see where it sticks now so simply apply grease to the points that are causing the restriction. Should have remembered earlier :rolleyes:

Still puzzling me how it slips out of gear easily when the engine is switched off.

I know, weird isn't it? :confused:

Many thanks from you both not had any updates yet but will forward your comments to the garage and again will update
Plus not a issue with clutch or gear box?

[Hometune]

Your symptoms are odd. They don't fit the usual problems at all! Intrigued to find out what's causing it.
