right i have a corsa sport 1.4 16v
and all the gears are fine apart from 5th its hard to get in to a can get it in some times but thats about it
would it be the gear linkage or some thing to re-set it or should i just replace the linkage as i would like a short shift one
any help would be great thanks

i would try just adjusting the linkage first.
im right in thinking its a corsa b right?
i was having a lot of troubble getting my lil X14XE into 3rd, just went and re-adjusted the linkage and drained and re-filled the Gbox oil and it goes into gear just fine now.

happens dont worry yourself with it, just adjust the linkage itas really easy on the X14XE engines as on the top of the gearbox theres a funky spring/pin thing that locks in the Gears otherwise you have to pull this thing out and stick a 4.5mm drill bit in its place then turn the shaft anti clockwise and all that crap.
