Ibiza mk4 03 plate crunching gears (general)

Alright ,

I have a SEAT IBIZA MK4 03 PLATE . On the odd occasion if I am gearing down from 3rd to 2nd or gearing up from 1st to 2nd il accidentally crunch the gears. Now twice recently when i have done this and carried on driving its fine changing gears.

HOWEVER after driving for a little while longer .. when i stop the car at lights or on the side of the road and go to set of again the gearbox completely seizes up offering no movement at all as if its stuck between neutral and 1st its impossible to change gears i mean impossible , the solution is sitting there with my hazards on pumping the clutch then after a couple of mins i wrench it back into 1st. Absolute nightmare ! Haha , I know the obvious answer is dont crunch the gears , just wondering if this has happened to anyone else.

Ive got to say the bushes for this model (the front wishbone lower bushes) are a joke i have replaced a couple of times.

somethin i noticed as this has happened to me a couple of times, make sure ur foot mat isnt restricting the clutch hitting the floor and it means it not gettin properly down to change gears, my mat moves all the times its pretty bugging, mine hasnt done it for a while but i've had it jam trying to go into 1st before
