To replace the gear cables you don't need any tools and it takes about 35-40 min to do so I never done it before and it was very easy fix, the cable cost at Vauxhall are £140 I got them of ebay for £60 thanks
Absolute hero. Had the exact same problem and turns out the bushings on the cable is knacked. Glad it decided not to shift just as I was leaving home and I could do this to get back as I could have had a major accident.
Open the bonnet and unclipped the shift wire, then disconnect them from the gear, but make sure u mark them before disconnecting from the gear so you can adjust them with the new wires good luck
thanks a lot. i tried do the replacement today but when i finished install the new cable than find out the gear box is too tight, it's hard to go gear 1-6. especially gear reverse that can't go. any suggestion for me please?@@DimzogNIP
Nop once i replace them so far I have done about 15000 miles not having any problems and this is not the original one is the one from ebay so far so good 😊
I have the same problem. Every morning 30mints struggle then go in gears. And i chang gearbox clutch and master cylinder 7time but same problem .i change 3 mechanic but no body know whats the problem is?
Did you try to change the gearshift wires, that's why I am not using mechanics any more they are the biggest scammers out there they haven't fix the problem and still wants to charge you.
I have vouxhall insignia and when releasing clutch and starting to drive my gear lever is moving forward and back good this be a problem with gear box linkage
Hope that helps, I know that feeling when something go wrong and u have to go for repair can be expensive ;) I aways prefer to fix it my self if not able plan B garage time lol
