The 850 is a cable gear linkage, so unless it was tight or loose at one end, It'll more like be the internal selector that has gone. I'm not sure if these have little ball bearing and slide in them which wear away or wear in to the casing.. Gearbox is about £260 delivered from Salvo (after discount). Then you've just got to fit it...
