I'm still experiencing rubbish, stiff gearchanges in my C, which has recently had a new gear linkage.

I fitted the linkage, Vauxhall have checked it, and it's fine, fitted right, set right etc.

BUT, still, it's really hard work getting in to second, from third.

My inpsection warning is on on my dash, should I book it in for a service and specify they check the gearbox oil level?

I'm getting VERY frustrated by this now

its the corsa C gearbox/linkage design rob, mine is the same. it will never change gear when the engine is revving above 6000 rpm.

when i worked at vaux, we had a few c's havin similar problems and it was down to the start of clutch failure. normally was when cylinder had popped in box and was causing slight clutch slippage and poo gear selection

Are clutch, brakes and services covered by Network Q warranty?

Services aren't, but clutch and brakes are.
