Hard to put the car into reverse

[Georgije]

Hello all, i'm new here, i bought a beautiful Renault Megane from 2006 last week.

I'm generally happy with my purchase, but i do have a small problem.

When i try to put the car in reverse, it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I often have to try again and really push the gear stick into reverse. I saw some posts on here saying that there is supposed to be a ring on the stick that you pull on, so you can shift into reverse, but i'm pretty sure my car hasn't got it.

I'd like to know if anybody else is experiencing this problem and if it could be a sign of some expensive mechanical failure.

The car is a 1.6 16V with a manual gearbox

If it's missing that ring, you need to replace it ideally!
