Right I know its for RIBs this app but Ive exhausted the internet and want to hear some opinions. Its a 2003 vauxhall corsa 1.0 which I bought 4 weeks ago, when starting and for first 10 mins it is very hard to get into first gear. After that its fine and slots in. I still wouldnt say all the gears slot in nicely but they are fine after first. So any ideas whats wrong? I reckon gear linkage, or maybe just lubricating??
As far as I can determine if you lift the gaiter on the gearshift and there will be a hole that aligns that you can lock. Then you can adjust any slack at transmission end. Look at post mid way down on this form chat: gear linkage setup

It's the clutch binding. It's nothing to do with wear. It's a common problem. Changing the oil with a blended type will look like the problem is fixed but the problem will come back. Alan P
