dunno if you could do anything similar but with mk2 golfs you can added a weighted shift rod (has a lump of lead on it) and this help increase inertia making gear selection alot smoother

might be something to look into.....

nothing to with the gearbox it because the gearbox of the C20XE are Mechanical transponders and the alot of corsas can only read electrical transponders

(the small plug that sits on the top of the box with the wire coming out )
