Try removing the pin where the gearbox linkage ends (on top of the gearbox under the batter). See if you can get it into reverse by sticking a screwdriver in it, and jiggling it about. far clockwise, and towards you I think (looking from the front).

i reckon it might be the collar that you lift up to get into reverse is fooked

help

My 1.0 12V corsa B doesnt go into reverse. Simple as :lol:

The car drives fine, and engages all other gears with ease........ but doesnt reverse.

If i remove the gear gaitor, it looks as if it is going into reverse (with a bit of force) however it is still 1st gear :(

Recently changed engines, however the gearbox remained in place.
So, the gear linkage is therefore not the problem ( i have tried it anyway!!!).

Any suggestions??

Been driving about for about a week odd now without reverse :lol:
Carefull parking :D
