Hi

Can anyone tell me where and how to fill up the gearbox fluid, I am unable to use the 1, 2 and reverse gears
all the gears that are upwards...HELP!.

I am having to drive home on 2 4 and 6th gear
 
Erm? Do you mean gear box oil or brake fluid that drives the clutch slave cylinder? That is where I would start.

Well the gear stick is not going into 1 3 and reverse gears... so would that mean i need gear fluid and if so where is the bottle located?
 
Well there could be many things and not much wrong here.
It’s worth checking there is oil in the box and it is not contaminated with water.
You need to bleed the slave cylinder. Topping up is not enough.
You need to adjust your gear sellector cables. Reasonably easy.
You need a new gear sellector (or to refurbish it). Needs some mechanical skills.
You need a new box. Tough job.
What are you comfortable with?
