Corsa 99 Gear linkage

Post by babbstar »

Guys,
I ahvea problem getting the car into gear, I ahve scoured the forum praying "not the clutch not the clutch"
It appears that it is indeed my gear linkage which I belive is a common fault ???
Looked on the vauxhall website, and the part is £144 !!!!! Oh my.
I want to know if I can get this part second hand through a Broker ?? Or am I going to have to pay the £144 + Fitting.
How easy are they to fit ?

you sure it doesnt just need resetting as all they are is two bars connected with a clamp, if you use a haynes manual that should tell you how to re-set the gear linkage, or unless someone on here knows how to, as i cant quite remember.

Could you link me this website please as I did have a problem with it this morning but has not since happened again. Although it did not happen again I would however like to tighten it to make sure.

Many thanks
