Opel/Vauxhall Corsa Gear linkage adjustment

[@Diagnosedan]

Didn't know you could lock the shifter by turning that plastic piece 90 degrees. Thanks for sharing that with us mortals!

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

It's amazing what you can learn from me you should learn my racingline as well you're always behind me so it be easier for you to learn boom lol

[@tomosb95]

I think the white part needs to go the other way, 180 degrees , so that peg goes in the hole. What you did didn't lock the gear stick.

[@john-peters]

in my 2015 corsa, reverse gear is extremely difficult to engage, i have to put it in first for a few seconds, and then hope it works. Could this be a linkage issue?

[@Infinityprops]

Hello m8 do you know if it is the same on a Opel Corsa njoy 2003, by any chance?

[@jakirhussain4727]

Some say to put the car in third gear?

[@CubasAutomotive]

Sorted!** Very easy to do it the right way, but I see no issue with either.

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Boom SORTED lol

[@themechanic6117]

What would cause this to be out of adjustment?

[@opelmantamechanic8438]

replacing a worn linkage.

[@MrHousedog]

Disconnecting it to change gearbox clutch engine

[@opelmantamechanic8438]

@@MrHousedog I thought when changing the clutch you just pop a couple of arms off the balls and unbolt the bracket from the box and cable tie it over to the bulkhead to avoid the agro of lining it up after, but now we know how I guess it's not a problem.

[@MrHousedog]

I've had issues getting some of the brackets off the pegs

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Boom SORTED lol

[@MrHousedog]

I've been doing these a few years and always put the box in neutral and got someone to hold it but it takes a few goes

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

I've done it that way myself mate it works is more than one way to skin a cat

[@MrHousedog]

I'll be using this next time

Hi. I have a corsa b 2001, i've locked it but the pin doesn't pop out after adjusting my gears. Can you help me how pop it out 🤔🙇‍♂

[@johannessenoamadi8776]

How did you eventually pop it out?

[@MianGe-b4p]

hello good day, I changed clutch and pressure plate and after second day the when I shift second gear the gear not linked? after I checked excel all are good I start car and shift the gear without clutch all gear are working without any sound, its Opel Astra H 1.6 benzina, do you have any opinions for me?

[@piotrc7003]

And what with this yellow pin it was left in the locked position?

[@scopex2749]

I noted that you didnt correctly use the locking device! There is a HOLE where the pin on the white plastic wotsit - has to go to lock it in CORRECT POSITION - (the pin is under the THICKER of the two white arms - every Corsa has it. If you dont lock it EXACTLY you can lose reverse gear. The position you lock the actual gearbox in - with the plunger is THIRD GEAR. As you didnt lock it leaning to the left (which is the correct set up position - you will struggle to select gears. Hope this helps? My cousin BUILDS Corsas so I think he knows :))) DONT FORGET - LOCK THAT LEVER - SORTED!! ;)

[@Lloyd_J_RiSpark]

How do you bring back reverse gear doing it?

[@carlroberts7140]

Leon I had new clutch kit fitted on my corsa E 66 plate. 5 months ago sometimes it's a bit of a fuss to go into gear. . In the Haynes Manual it says only adjust if the linkage is removed or disconnected.. Should I adjust mine?

[@woody0113]

locked it in wrong side the hole in black plastic the white locking plastic slots into it

[@securecloud99]

hi,i have lancer 1.5 juro petrol 2011, the lever is too hard in neutral to gi left and right , but gears selection is fine. will that be the same issue

[@LMAutoRepairs]

👍👍👍

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Boom

[@philuin9594]

On a 55 plate corsa e can the linkage cables be manually adjusted tightened?

[@stevemcilroy9518]

Perfect, just what I needed to know, thanks

[@mattsilver8519]

Nice one Leon great video 👍

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Thanks mate

[@shaunyboy7540]

Will this work on an 04 corsa?

[@piotrc7003]

That was really grat! GOD bless You!

[@BrianR04]

WRONG !!!! at 45 seconds you have failed to see the white clip is 180 deg out. turn it so the plastic pin sits in the hole, THEN its locked in the correct place . At 2.59 you can clearly see the pin that drops into the hole !

[@urbanjentry222]

Looking at that why would that have misaligned I know might sound silly but worth enlightening 👍

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

I did a video on how to replace the gear linkage this video is just to show people how to line it up properly after the fact

[@Arctic-wolf]

Is this the same on a corsa E?

[@Callum20044CS]

This didnt fix difficult 1st while moving and hard crunchy second gear . What would be next to try to fix lads? Gearbox doesnt seem sloppy and can select all gears easy enough with engine off and clutch pressed.

[@UniquelyDiscovered]

I did this and still have a stiff 2nd gear. I’m thinking to change the transmission oil next. Hopefully it’ll make the gear changes all smooth. Did you manage to sort yours out?

[@gazsweet]

I can't get 1st gear, 3rd gear, 5th or reverse. Could this be a linkage problem?

[@konstantin-big]

Did you fixed the problem????

[@gazsweet]

​@@konstantin-bigWow, this brings back memories haha. I actually found a hammer wedged inside the engine bay against the gear linkages. After that it worked fine! But yes, I'd go with a general linkage issue. See if you can move it into position by hand?

[@konstantin-big]

@@gazsweet I use an anti-rust-oil spray to all linkages

[@CarsExposed]

Now I know 🤗 thanks for sharing mate too man 👍👍👍👍

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Thanks mate lol

[@jaykent6645]

Didnt know about the locking procedure Leon, thank you for learning me! Is this the same on most cars? Kind regards Jay

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

hi mate no most cars are not like this at all they just have metal gear linkages with with a metal rope in the middle they have no adjustment like this whatsoever the only have adjustment right on the edge where they connect to the gearbox but this never needs to be touched

[@jaykent6645]

Thanks for the reply Leon 🤗

Did people used to used a drill bit instead of orange thing u shown.on old vauxhalls well i am sure I did on my cavalier lol

[@opelmantamechanic8438]

yes the old ones had the orange spring thing on the gearbox and the hole by the gearstick for a drill bit , it almost worked .except for when the mountings were worn and sagged a bit making it not quite right .you would need to finesse it a bit so you could get reverse and 5th etc .
