Hmmm... my gearbox seems a little clunky and a bit stiff when going into gear sometimes, but it is a Y reg, done 18k miles, and i have'nt driven any other corsa C's to compare it too either...

it was really hard to get in 1st u had to put it in second then up to first but the second was hard aswell :lol: i cant say that the corsa C has a nice gearbox anyways they feel abit crappy!

luv the box in my new transit the gears juast seem to knock in really nicely! and u can put it in reverse when still rollin forward with out any crunchin

Your right, it shouldn't happen.
Mine felt lovely and smooth after both of its services, but after a few months it gets a bit notchy. Not too bad tho. Doesn't crunch, except a bit in reverse.

Fair enough on an older car, but on newer cars you should not stand for it

lol,

I demand the best. It was smooth when I got it, so should still be smooth now :D

i think the noise from gear changing is normal, happens on a lot of cars.

LOL, yep ok no probs !

let me know how u get on mate!!! also exactly wat they did to the car....im gonna twat vauxhall haha

cool !
cheers

Can't wait for it to be smooth again :)

i got a new clutch in august and it was clunking and makin some horrible noises when i selected gears after about 30 mins of driving it wouldnt change gear at all lol

i adjusted the clutch an jus glides in to gear now :)

Mine had the linkage replaced last month under warrrenty. I had trouble getting 1st gear. Much better now though, very smooth.:)

Mmmmmmm

Mines been back for the same thing 3-4 times. All they were doing before was lubricating something :boggle:

My mate works at the Post Office. He said that they were having to replace the linkages with new ones on dozens and dozens of their Corsa vans for the exact same problem.

As soon as I said that to the manager at the garage this morning he said he'd order one of the new ones in and give that a try

mine does that from 2nd to 3rd,

yeh mate mine does that. vaux said it wasnt a problem tho...hmm

They clunk when you select a gear !

When it was new it was perfectly silent and so gentle. You could just nudge the lever with your little finger and it would glide in with ease.... But now I need to really push it firmly to get it into gear, and about 50% of the time of crunches slightly as it goes in

Wat u mean clunky gears?!

They're finally going to sort out my problems properly, rather than just lubricating things.

Got clunky gears , so they're fitting one of these new linkages, with metal balljoints rather than plastic ones ??

And squeaky clutch, so I'm getting new parts for the cylinder thingy to fix that .

:) Cant wait :D



Has anyone else got one of these 'new' linkages ? Are they better than the old ones ?

Cheers
