have a look at the selecting rods from your gear stick to gear box there is to of them one does some many gear and the other does the other ones

I had the same problem .. my cables came off the gearbox as the little cups they clip into had become a bit slick and kept on popping off... i had to put a new set of cables in and working fine ...
