The bush in the end of the selector rod has broken up. It's a common problem. Replacements are available through E Bay.

Hi,
Been searching through the forums as I have this exact problem on a mk1 capri. I think its a type 3 gearbox, is this answer still relevant?
If so can anyone point me to a link to the bush?
I bought a saddle for the fork, it has improved it but still isnt as rigid as I'd like but I cant quite work out where the bush sits to secure the whole assembly together.
Any help would be appreciated
Cheers,
Gab
