         I drove a m8's Corsa 12 16v last nite and it has the worst gearchange ever:| Is this normal in a 99... 00  Corsa with 58k on it...? The gearstick feels like stirring a pot full of goop:lol:        And yes I did manage 92mph in 4th @ 6k rpm  ..........   when I found it......    Is the problem in the selector or linkage or where.....?       Cheers Guys

	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,
