Well done mate. Been doing this 22 years and you thought me something

Well I’ve been avoiding looking at the sisters car for a while now with sloppy first & second gear problem but after seen your video went and done it today and worked a charm so thank you very much for sharing this.

Glad you used an axle stand a friend of mine a very long time ago died under a car the Jack collapsed on him so guys and girls when working under a car use axle stands

Great tutorial, very useful. Just one remark, you should tighten the bolt to the specified torque of 12 Nm + 225°

excellent videos tom. made me a lot more confident working on my 62 plate corsa D.

Yep I'll just keep my sticky gearbox . This shit is well above my head. I'd royally fuck something up 😂

Great video man! After watching you, I decided to adjust it also on my Corsa 1.4 model of 2011.I had a small but annoying problem with 1st and 2nd gear. I also put some white lithium grease in the moving parts of the gear selector and the problem is gone! Thanks a lot!

Another great no bullshit video from Tom The Tech well done Tom keep the videos coming please.

С благодарностью из России!!! Только тут нашёл ответ по регулировке рычага мкпп.

Would’ve been better to actually show rotation of the selector and you pushing the plunger rather then having everyone confused on how to do it. You basically cut the most important part from your video.

Helped a lot cheers...no more crunchy 1st and 3rd!!

Another great vid Like Mohamed said below at what point do I put it in 3rd gear? At the start it held in neutral? Please reply, you describe at 2.25 sec just too turn the gear linkage until it’s in 3rd then push pin in and tighten linkage back up, can you explain this step better please. Did u go back in car and put it in 3rd? Looks like it’s still in neutral when you go back in car at end of vid. Thanks

Great stuff bro

Nice little video well demonstrated 👍

It was enough for me 30 sec. film. Thanks. Mnie wystarczyło 30 sec. filmu. Dzięki.

Great video mate. Good to see some more corsa D videos . Keep it going definitely think this channel will build up. Think if you do some basics videos people would like to see, where and how to jack up a corsa D. Gear box oil change (that is a popular people been asking for on the corsa D forum). Can I ask why u were adjusting your linkage?

Worked a treat. Thanks.

You've left the gearbox in the locked position. It should be like that or the yellow pin should be moved back to no unlocked position?

My corsa is a pain going into gears 1 and 2 it just feels stiff to go into them especially gear 1 would you recommend doing this ?

Thank you so much. You just saved me alot of time . 👊

Hey mate tried this on a 57 plate 1.3 cdti that could only select 5th gear can't seem to get it to shift to 3rd only 5th gear even with the linkage disconnected any other ideas of what it could be before we pick up a new gearbox

Is the plunger meant to pop back out once you have tightened everything back up ? I tried to put it into gear once I finished and the plunger came straight back out

Will this prevent stiff gear change and if so, what drill bit are you using?

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?

Hi Do you have any video on how to change the clutch master cylinder and the one below?

How can we lock it into 3rd gear when it will only lock when in neutral?

Good job

Is the same procedure as a Vauxhall combo van 1.3cdti

Danke

Hi Tom, I've tried this for 4 hours today and got absolutely nowhere. The plunger won't press in. Which direction do I rotate the linkage? To the battery side or the other? Is it supposed to rotate and turn out or just rotate? I get very little rotation when I try and turn the linkage and the plunger just doesn't move. And yes the pinch bolt is loose and the stick is in the adjustment mode. Please help!?!?!??!?

Button on shifter corsa d not working, when I press button it stay in same position. I think.need lubricate white part on shifter , connected with button. I dont know which grease/ lubricant need use, please for advice

Just one question (I've not looked under the bonnet on mine yet) the gear selector rod that you turned, Is It marked for the 3rd gear position? I'm guessing 3rd is used to recalibrate the linkage position (middle)

When should I place the third gear exactly, before or after removing the screw ?

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

So how did you select 3rd and push the pin in? You didn’t show us that!

Hi tom What a the part number for the plunger unit thing the gear selector any idea

Hi Tom, Any more new clips?

How do I know if it's a linkage problem? ye it's hard to put the first gear in, but the reverse is fine? The mechanic said something wrong with the inside of the gearbox (common for 1.3l D). Also that it shouldn't be a problem to drive, but very expensive to fix.

Quality🤙🏾🤙🏾

Does this work on a crunchy reverse?

Hi mate great vid thank you! Do you know the name Of the plastic parts? Mine has snapped.. you call It the “white clip” what’s happening is my car is going into reverse on the motion that I’d normally put 1st in.. therefor making it really hard to find gear 1 when driving if you get me? If you would get back to me that would be great thank you

Will the plunger only go in once it's in 3rd gear cheers

Hey Tom.. I dont know if you can help, I have a chevrolet utility 2010 1.4, Im struggling with the gears, it goes into 1 and 2,but 3 and 4 it makes a weird sound, even reverse doesn't really go in, I know its its a different model and all but was wondering if you can help for a chevrolet utility 1.4

Pleased I found this, my 2011 corsa d limited edition is terrible to get into 1st and 2nd gear

Will this work on my corsa d vxr

Hi Tom, My gear changes are getting a little tougher, requires a little strength. When I've been on a long drive.. its habit easier.. Do you think this could help make it smoother again? It's not causing a big problem like.. just annoying knowing that the gear changes use to be smooth haha.

just had a go at this. I take it when you have to select third gear this is done by rotating the selecting rod until the plunger pops in. i did feel it pop in but only about half way . still have difficult 1st and second gears. any suggestions what to do next son wants to use this car for practical test soon would like to get it resolved . 🛻🛻🛻🛻

Mate whats the white plastic part you're moving at first, mine just snapped and cant for the life of me find the part

Hi wondering if you could help I have to have the gear linkage replaced on my corsa. (so I ve been told, gearbox is very loose but goes into gears) Would you be able to tell me if this is a big job or how long it might take. I am not a mechanic at all!! And don't know much so don't wanna go to garage unprepared. Thanks

what should i do if mines sounding like something loose and not liking first, been told gearbox oil just needs replacing

one final question, I promise!! what's the heater like in your car? mine takes ages to heat up even on full.

5 Star

Hey tom, I'm doing this to my Corsa but I can't turn the gear selector pin as you anti clockwise, it just won't turn by hand. I've got the gearstick locked in adjustment mode by locking it into the lug and the spring by the gear selector rod is out (not pushed in) what am I doing wrong bro?

Can this be the cause of a jugger between gears 1/2 2/3 ?

how do you drain the oil out of the gearbox

cool

My Mum's Corsa D has issues with juddering in 1st gear(water on the flywheel) but recently I've found in 2nd gear it sort of slips, judders forward hard and is then fine. Any idea what it could be?

I removed the gear knob and know it won’t go in reverse 🤣

Hi Tom, Ey 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,

Hey man, on my corsa d 1.3 cdti, when I want into reverse gear, sometims gets fine and sometimes it rumbles and then gets... will this fix that or..? 1st gear sometimes gets harder, but never rumble...

🇩🇰🤩✌️

Good video's but use English terms as your British....whats a Hood?

Not sure the bad language added any value !!!!

Yo why theres a metal noise when i change gears
