recently my gears have been feeling a bit strange when changing. 4 5 and reverse seem ok, but sometimes when going into 1st 2nd n 3rd it can b stiff, struggle to go in a bit and occasionally it feels as tho there is something in the way as im trying to get it in gear.
its got about 85k miles and ive had it for the last 10-15k and my driving is mainly around the city so im changing a lot especially during busy periods. i dont no anything so im guessing something sorta worn down in them low gears
i cant get to a garage for a week or so so was wondering if any of u cud give me any ideas or what it could be... best and worst case scenerio sorta thing? and rough prices if you have an idea?
thanks in advance

It's a well known fault with the pre 2004 Corsa C's.
You need to have part of the gear linkage replaced with the metal equivilent as the current plastic item wears. It will get worse......
Here's the full kit:
