If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

from the sounds of things, that doesn't sound like a bush problem. i think your 2nd gear synchro could be rooted :idea: basically, if you have problems putting the car into gear e.g. selecting the reverse gear and the gear does not select, that ought to be the gear selector bush.
