Put her into reverse and she crunches, every single time without fail, unless engine not running. Most of the time the forward gears feel fairly stiff  gearbox is f13c/r coupled to x14xe
is this banjaxed or is it fixable at very little cost??

CorsaB4ever no it doesnt, seems the same. The gears you have to give it more force than usual to get it in gear, mainly first gear

When I needed my clutch adjusted it wouldnt go into first, had to really force it and reverse just crunched like mad
Look under your bonnet, on top of the gearbox there will be an arm with a cable going through it, on the end of the valbe there should be a threaded rod with a block attached to it. If your car struggles to go into gear twist the block clockwise then try your clutch and see how it is

All i can say mate is listen to the above. Both mine did this as did my mates. Adjust it a little bit at a time though, all youl find youl clutch peddle about 6 inch's higher than the others
