C Sxi 1.2 16v

Does anyone have experience of a notchy/hard to engage 2nd gear on these cars?
The gears all seem fine and engage with no issues until you try 2nd gear - where it all but refuses to play.

Is this fault fairly common on these engines? Any straight forward fixes? i.e worn bushes etc?

Could just be the gear linkage, the original ones were always breaking.

Yeah sounds like the Gear linkage is fucked. Around £40 for the part, not a bad job to replace if you fancy a go yourself.
