Mend Vauxhall Corsa Gear Going Difficult

Trouble Changing Gear?

I have a 1.1 Vauxhall Corsa, S Reg, Its started to have trouble going into gear its difficult to put into first gear.

If the car is just staionary and the engine is off, it seems to go into all the gears withough any trouble.

What do you think it is ?, Does it sound like the clutch is on its way out ?

the clutch pedal should be just higher than the brake pedal

i think u have a clutch cable on this model so try adjusting ur clutch cable up a couple of turns! its situated on top of the gear box. (be careful not to adjust it too much or ur clutch might slip) if the vehicle is quite high mileage have u changed the gear oil as this will also aid ur gear change!(make sure u use the correct gear oil ur local motorfactor will help u).if its only crunchin in these gears it well may be ur syncros on those paticular gears ,if u can change gear better with a slow gear change it usually is ur gear syncros! remedy 1 thicker gear oil , 2, a gearbox additive from ur local motorfactor(its usually molybdenum disulfide grease), 3, a reconditioned g/box!
