Just an update for any folks who might use this for they're own problems... Went out for a longer drive than my usual drift to work today. And boy was it a drive. | |

Never thought of that... And I don't even know where the adjuster is. Could Do with a Haynes guide and some ramps. | |

Go under the car and find where the linkage goes into the engine bay, there will be a 13mm bolt there that needs to be slackened off. Now give the gear lever a wiggle from side to side to slacken things off. | |

Nice and cheap that, any idea on how to re-set the gear linkage Dave? | |

clutch cable is £16 and no more than 30 mins to fit! | |

Only wish I knew how to do all this. I'll try the cable and if it's still fucked I'll just sell it. Bloody sick of it. Stupid Diesel. | |

Every Corsa I have driven crunches a bit going into reverse. You might want to try re-setting your gear linkage first as they can slip slightly out of position making the situation worse. | |

try to adjust your clutch cable first, takes a matter of minutes. I had the same problem a few months back, adjusted me clutch and it was fine | |

mine does the exact same when rolling from first, putting clutch down and into reverse it makes an awful grinding sound. i toke i to to a garage today to get the gear oil changed and gear linkage sorted was costing me 250 quid i told him where to get off. i'll just have a go myself. | |

Well when I got the car in January, the bite was really high, foot was practically off of the pedal etc. Then I took it for a service and mentioned the clutch. When I got it back it had gone right down to the floor. I'm befuddled anyway... | |

he could be rite then, but you could change a clutch cable yourself its easy, usually the bite would get higher as the clutch wears, but it sounds as tho the cables stretched ao even on its last legs, | |

I think it has been adjsuted before. I've recently noticed the biting point slipping right down to the floor aswell. | |

i wouldnt think so, as long as the cable is operating, the cable is adjustable, and if its been adjusted already, i would say you need a clutch | |

"It's your clutch cable pal"... Should I trust him? |
