Well just had a bit of a scare
Driving on the m1. trying to change from 4th to 5th. Couldnt get out out of 4th was proper jammed up. Gave it a jiggle and pushed it a little harder. Still nothing. Was getting a tad worried. Thought the gear box had gone. Gave it another shove. Loud clunk. All gears fine now. Had a look under the car cat heat shield had gone.

Just wondered if this is gonna cause me any issues?
