Gearbox problem

I am after advice on my gearbox. My car is a 2014 Kia Picanto. It’s a petrol engine and done about 48,000 miles.

Last week as I was driving and my clutch went. I looked down and saw some sort of clip had come off.

I was in the middle lane of a busy road. I had to force my car back into gear a couple of times so I could get off to a side road. I then had to call a recovery vehicle to take my car home.

I had the clutch fixed and I think a new clutch cable was put in.

There is now something wrong with the gearbox. Sometimes going from neutral to first or reverse won’t happen. I have to keep on trying. Also, sometimes when I am driving, I can hear a slight noise when going into second gear.

I have some questions

1) Do you think my gearbox can be fixed?

2) If it cannot be fixed roughly how much will it cost to have a new gearbox fitted?

3) If the gearbox needs replacing would I be able to get a second had one from an online car scrapyard?

4) If I do get a second hand gearbox roughly how much will it cost to get it fitted?
