Corsa C owners! Has anyone had this problem before 
my mam owns a corsa c 1.2 with a few minor mods. I've noticed in the past that sometimes the car doesnt like changing down gear from 3rd to 2nd but ive never really thought much of it till recently. Now im finding that the car does it on a day to day basis and its really dangerous especially when approaching a corner at speed and you cant get 2nd.
now dont get me wrong, this does happen only when you boot the car, it happens all the time when driving casually too. My mam reckons it might have something to do with the gearbox oil needing to be topped up or replacing. now i dont know about this or anything really to do with gearboxes so is she right?
Has anyone else experienced this problem or knows how to sort it?
cheers peeps, any helps appreciated
