Try changing the Gearbox oil. You can get the stuff from Vauxhall. Not expensive either.

could be the gear linkage? take it to a mechanic and ask the to adjust it.

The other thing it could be in the oil that lubricates the gear box has worn off, try taking it to get it stripped and oiled.

hope this helps :thumbs:

Hi.. My daughters Corsa L reg 1.4i gears are very stiff first thing in the morning, especially 3rd 4th and 5th. Once the engine is warm and it's done about 10 miles or so..everything seems to free up a bit. However, the gears do feel a bit mushy in 3rd, 4th and 5th. The car has done 84,000 miles. Any tips or ideas on how to cure or help this problem? Thanx in advance. Pal :boggle:
