Had this problem on the g/f corsa,

Changed the actual gearstick as there is a bush there that wears, also where it pivots wear..

Its much better, to get it perfect you;d have to change all the joints in the linkage thou,

my 1.2 16v corsa B club is 99 and the gearbox is horrible! Only done 29,000 miles though.
