hi, how has the replacement part fared. Does it function normaly and have you had any issued with this repalcement part.
Thanks
I can't see what you doing on the gear stick only you can see and that's the important part of the video
How do u remove the retaining plastic cap?
That expression at 08:35 says it all. I have come up with new swear words doing mine. Couldnt get reverse. Then I could and then I couldnt get 1st and 2nd. Then I could get reverse, 1st,2nd,3rd,4th but not 5th. Then I went back to setting it again and again no reverse and 2nd. Curse curse curse. Will give the spring thing a try next.
did you try setting the rod to about the same length as the oem gear linkage and did you have the shifter in the neutral position when changing it?
Great video and clear instructions. My daughter has a 64 plate 1.2 Corsa D which she's learning to drive in and every now and then it's a real pig to get into first or second gear. It has only done 9k miles but after some research I think it may be the plastic arm with the sockets on. I was going to fit the upgraded metal rod but can't see a way to easily get to the inner most end. The inlet manifold seems to be covering access. Was wondering if you could tell me what you removed to get to this end please. Also not sure if I can push the new on one with the linkage assembly still in place. The old one looks like it will pull off easily. Many thanks
Can you tell me can a Opel Corsa utility gearbox 1.4or 1.6 fit in a 1.8 bakkie Opel Corsa utility
Hi do u have a vider on salector how did u remove the pin in that chaft
Sorry did you have the part number? My previous question received a like but not an answer.

Hi George I have a 57 plate corsa s was drivein then went to change gear an I could roll my gear stick around as if nothings there pulled up looked at the linkage messed about then my gear was workin again but if I rush to change gear happens again is this linkage wt needs changeing
Was it easy to put back on
I came across this video as my 2015 Corsa e is making a clunking sound when shifting gears. I’ve noticed the linkage has been loose for the best part of three years but has caused no issues till now. My question to you when you say that the linkage and selector rod fails over time what do you mean? Does it cause a clunking sound when it fails?
Just put new mounts on my combo and won’t change from 3rd down to 2nd when driving but will when it’s stationary. Any ideas? Great video
Hi mate great video how long did it take to so the gear linkage please mate and do you think it would be better to push in the spring bit and lock the gear knob 1st or at the end or dose it not matter as. Please let me know as im going to do mine this week having problems getting into some of my gears when driving thanks.
Hi mate how long did it take you to do as I am planning to do mine please buddy
Update . I had a garage fit this gear mod to my Corsa C 1 L 12 valve, 58 bhp . 03’ plate .
Initially second and fourth would pop back to neutral when clutch raised halfway. Obviously this would cause a horrible crunching noise and sound as if the gearbox was dying. Problems in fourth disappeared after the first two days.
It took about three weeks or four weeks for the crunching in 2nd to go away . The crunching became less and less now the gearbox does not crunch at all and gears feel much firmer than before the mod was installed
So all in all, it got worse before it got better (With my model Corsa any way ). Could of been garage error . Who knows. But it’s all good now 👍
Do you have the part number for this?
How this model links I needed this but I know this model car
Does this fit a Corsa D 2007 because Ebay seems to think it doesn't? Thank you
I wish there was a belt replacement kit for the timing chains. I've literally just had mine done a couple thousand miles ago, made sure to keep it full of clean oil with regular changes, and even then it's again started its infamous tick-tick-ticking shenanigans!
Ticking doesn’t mean your timing chain is necessarily bad👍🏻
Could be your lifters
Mustn’t have been tensioned right then. Mine was done 10k+ ago and still isn’t near ticking or rattling
There is a workaround. Drop a Z18XE in and it comes with belts instead of chains.
Thank u so much! Just did my Corsa 1.4 16v. Man.. its not rocketsience but in a bloody diffecult place..! 😂.
And a Top Tip. Order a new Splitpin .. Im glad i did .
Thanks again!
Re
I just had my corsa d gear unit changed but now having kind off knocking and drumming sound over bumps.Can it be something loose in gear unit?
I cant get my Combo 1,7cdti into first gear. The other ones are a bit tricky, but i can get them in. Could this linkage be my problem?
Do you have some play in the gear selector? Usually the plastic wears over time and makes it hard to get into 1st gear.
@@hawk_bl Yes i do! Thank you for your answer. I will have a look at this!!
hi mate thanks for the helpful video i got a Opel Corsa b change the gear linkage and did the spring thing but when I tightened the bold to the shifter and l took out the locking thing on the shifter it don't jump into neutral and the spring stays in i had to move the linkage before it will pop out then i tried it i got all gears but not reverse can you please help
hi mate. i understand that the gearbox on the corsa d and adam are the same. the adam is notorious for not wanting to go into 1st gear unless its fully stopped. would this fix the issue?
How is the plastic retaining cap thing supposed to be removed?
Do you need to buy a full set ? or can you just replace the metal rod with the plastic one ? just need a quick decent fix. planning to get rid of my corsa in like 6months but want to fix this first.
Should you do this over time or only if youve problems
Great video just been doing mine having trouble getting that plastic top hat on just sits loose how do you get them tight thanks
What was your gear shifter like after fitting this? Did it still self center when going into neutral?
Yes it self centred as long as you setup your gears after installing it👍🏻
Hey there, so I have a corsa manual and the gear selector is just stuck in first gear, managed to put it in neutral. However, when I put it in gear, the actual car does not seem to be in gear. What would you advise? Thanks
Late reply, I know, but the linkages are notorious for breaking on the Corsa C. Even if you manage to get the stick to stay in gear, the broken linkage won't actually select the gear, it'll just be flopping around somewhere. A new linkage is needed.
I've just ordered a replacement kit for the bushings and plastics in the linkage, and I was stupid that I did not check how much of a pain it will be to remove the likage from my corsa, I've got a 1.7dti engine and the access is next to non existent, it's gonna be the most difficult fix that I ever had in this car
Here is where I buy ALL of my car parts from.. The cheapest place online!

Just had a look at the site you recommend and looked up the gear linkage repair kits for the Vauxhall Meriva A and all the pictures show a plastic linkage rod and not the metal upgrade linkage rod! I expect to need this upgrade repair on a second hand Meriva I am considering buying...
On my corsa c Reverse is 1st gear - 1st is 2nd gear - 3rd is 5th gear, to put the car is reverse i have to put ALOT of presure and force it over there. Hopfully it will just adjust as the gear linkage looks fine
@@billsteadman6923 ok this may sound a little unorthodox but in your case your linkage is misaligned the opposite to how mine was after following alignment instructions. What I did was not tighten the linkage bolt to 100% possible but to say 80% so it would change gear but not resist being pushed further the permit correcting of the misalignment. Mine was letting me slip into reverse without pulling the reverse ring up. Reverse was sharing 1st gears location. the opposite of yours. On mine I would go into 2nd gear position and push further over to the passenger side (right hand drive car) you should slacken off the linkage bolt a little assuming it is not already slightly loose and put gear lever in fourth gear and gently but assertively pull to the right towards the proper fourth gear location... move it a little at a time and go to recheck the Reverse and First gear locations to ensure they are moving towards the correct locations. Continue until you are happy with the correct gear selections and if you go too far just nudge it back the other way. Bear in mind that you have to be sensible and just gorilla wrenching the lever with the linkage bolt 100% tight will break the plastic or gearbox!
I can't get 1st gear, 3rd gear, 5th or reverse. Could this be a linkage problem?
Possibly
Thanks you explain 💯
Can you please tell me what the labor is for this job I was not able to find it in our Labor guide
What do you mean?
@@GeorgeAusters How many hours labor to do the job. It's not in our mechanics Labor guide we can't find it
Will that linkage work with a Chevy Aveo 07 ?
Do you think it's possible to only replace that cap, from mine the cap is missing and now the linkage is loose a bit
Yes you can replace the cap. it might be late as this was 6 months ago, but part number for just the cap is 93185377
. Mine has the cap missing too so i found this out.
hope it helps
My linkage is shot... I have to proper slam it into 1st and second.
Get her changed
How does the retaining clip come off??
Good one George. Got to do one later this week, your vid helped a lot.
Glad it helped
How long did it take you please. I think my one gone no second gear but got new clutch?
transmission is fuckd m8
Good job sir I have Opel zafiral 2002 it was automatic transmission but I change it to manual gear but my problem is the connecting rod from the shift rod to the gear linkage place help me
Waste of time
Why ? And why watch if you think so .. fuckin idiot
Thanks mate currently about to remove my 1st engine from a 1700 corsa cdti and apart from removing mounts and using hoist the linkage is all I have to remove
No problem mate good stuff!
And the final test??
hey george, great video, ive got a 70 plate sri, my gears wont change from 5-6 gear, all other gears are fine, could this be the reason!
Hi mines 2 was this the reason
Hi mate mine has just gone I was worried untill I watched your vid. I also order my parts from the same site but all there rods are plastic too kind of defeats the object. Did you after order the Rod from another supplier? Thank you anyway 😁😁😁
you can find this replacement kit upgrade on eBay from a UK supplier
stop de Adds!!!
I couldn’t afford to make these videos without having some ads sorry mate
I fitted on of those cheap eBay linkages to my partners car, set it up by means of pressing in the plunger on the gearbox and lining up the gearstick with the hole in the tunnel then tightened the pinch bolt up....Total rubbish as it’s stiff going into 2nd and 4th and occasionally jumps out of 2nd....lve been and bought a good used OEM one and fitted that instead and all is sweet now.
Yeah mine used to jump out of 2nd, I think the rod needs making a little longer
Hi Bro i need a bit of your help,
I know we have two different models, Mine is an Opel Corsa b 130i,
Changing gears here is a nightmare, especially 1 and 2 , Issue being, worn bushes, between the linkage system,
I bought a complete kit, but i am struggling to remove the black one that is in between the fork from the gearbox and the linkage underneath,
There is a pin like bolt that i am struggling to remove, should i break that pin like bolt or is there a special tool for this,
Best way to change these is....? >>Advice please, Another thing any ideas on how to change the gear oil and how to tell if its little or more,
Thanks a lot,
The black plastic cover that goes over the pivot point that needs removing?
You can just break it if you have another, but you’re supposed to just lift up the tabs around it
@@GeorgeAusters thanks bro, will have a look at it
