My gear linkage is hitting against a thread on the bodywork, only allowing me to get 2nd and 4th but none of the top gears !
Has anyone else had this problem? and will a short shift fix it? or could i just bend it up on one side?

Had the opposite problem, couldn't get 2nd and 4th cause of the steering rack...
Conversion linkage sorts it I think

you need to take the end bit off that goes to the gearbox and fit it to the corsa linkage and turn the end 180 degrees

there is a part of the linkage that sticks up that the plastic bar clips on to. it is angled backwards and often smacks against the steering rack making it not possible to get into reverse and 1st etc. if you bend that part so its straight and not touching, it might help. ive recently had to do that on mine.

Has that made 2nd and 4th feel like shite on yours by any chance?
