The gears on my Corsa C (53 plate) are loose. I can't get into 2nd or 4th easily.

I recently replaced the gear linkage with a new one (two days ago) and the car was changing gear like a champ again until on my way home from work tonight.

Surely the linkage can't have gone again that quick!? Any ideas as to what it could be, looking at the linkage under the bonnet everything appears fine but 2nd and especially 4th are a pain to get into now all of a sudden.

I bought one of these months ago never had a problem since:

Yeah the metal ones look way more reliable but it still shouldnt stop working after 2 days use. I'm going to have a good look underneath now

If anyone has any suggestions let me know and I'll post back in here

There only nylon so they don't last long mine was three maybe four days.

The little black plastic cap had come off the top of the gear linkage. It was a pain to remove off the old one yet this one has just disappeared causing the problem. Haha.

Anyone any ideas where I can get one of these from?

Awesome I got the part. 99p. Bargain.

Only now it's on but as i change gears it pops up a bit. Any ideas how to get it to stay? It's at a pain of an angle to get to to give it a good whack
