I'd say don't bother, and get the new bushes from you Vauxhall dealer, they don't cost much.

IMO, the main issue is your Corsa linkage is all worn and old, I've found fitting new bushes makes the most difference in the past. I found with my old short shift linkage, I would make it easier to miss gears.
Rose jointing it is the best thing to do.

x2 geting rid of the shitty plastic rod and geting a metal one (£10 off ebay) did the most for me.
