Can be clutch issues yes, is it also hard to get into reverse at times??
Clutch on my GSi is on its way fast
so I had to adjust it to get it into gear as I couldnt even shift it in & reverse always crunched!

My old 1.4 Corsa cost me about £40 for a clutch, but none of these prices are Vauxhall prices...

Hi
I have a Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 SXI 1990 16v
Noob needing help, i have a similar problem, sometime i can't get car into first.. Not all the time only every so often i can also have it when clutch pedal is all way to floor i try to put into reverse and get crunching noise (like you do when changing gears without using clutch properly)... I has got a full service history and has 70k on clock don't know if this is important but thought i would put it....
Also if i leave car in neutral and just push clutch up and down i get some feedback throu it feels like a clicking. only happens in certain places and never really noticed it while driving could be cause i not raising clutch as slow when driving and not paying that much attention to it...
Plz help a noob guys.. anything will be greatly recieved and i will always help back when i can...
Cheers Tom
