selecting gears

[andy w]

Hi guys any one know what the problem is. Everytime i select a gear it is struggling to go in gear and now its starting to become slightly harder to get the gear want

[johnny]

Gear selecter or could just be the gearbox dying, does it crunch when you try put it in gear? If yes its the clutch

[andy w]

No crunch just hard to select gear buddy thinking could it be low on gear box oil at all

[andy w]

The best way to explain is even tho the clutch is on the floor it feels like it needs to go down a bit more to select the gear

[johnny]

Id check the gear selecter, theres a gromet type washer which normally wears and makes it very hard to slot it into gear, if it was the clutch it would crunch every time it went in and out of gear

[andy w]

Is it the one on the gear box and is it possible use corsa c replacements at all

[johnny]

Its the link joining the bar from the gear stick and the bar from the gear box, where the to of them meet theres a bushing its probably worn, you should have very little to no movement in the bush so it it moves it fubar

Ok its intermittent cud just drove and all the gear are back again it slips into each gear easy again think the bushes will have to be changed tho

[andy w]

Looked today bushes are in sorry state so will be replacing and cable did need adjusting aswell
