Bedford TL Clutch & Gearbox Problems?

this type of bedford normaly has a clutch cable,they
fill with water and rust. 99% of these hard clutch faults are cured with a new clutch cable.
the gear linkage fault is normaly the bush and bolt worn where the gear linkage connects to the top of the gear box.
both these jobs are simple to carry out.

Thanks for your help, with the gearbox it is any gear, they seem to be very close together and you get 3rd when you want 5th and 2nd when you want 4th!!!

Not familiar with Bedford TL but suggest you check clutch master cylinder and check that there is enough fluid in it.
Gearbox could be due to worn or disintegrating synchromesh rings - if so needs a gearbox overhaul. Is the problem always with the same gear?
