2
3

No reverse, reverse fails on the bulkhead, I was told I oculd bend this, by rmeoving a part so it fits. However I though while its removed I may aswell Buy a short shift, so I have.
How do I remov old linkage?

Jack the car up and also the engine, disconnect the shaft at the bulkhead and remove the pin through the coupling to the gearbox - will need battery etc. out of the way.
Remove the lower mount and it'll come out as one piece.

You can get away with it on smaller engines but if you've got an X14 or X16 it'll be a lot easier dropping the mount, it's only three bolts

You don't need to but I'd advise the LMF nylon bushes, big difference compared to the standard items and for the sake of about a tenner you might as well why the linkage is off

Engine mount is no biggie, just have a jack spare to support the engine while it's off.

Yeah, they're the ones
The linkage in that pic isn't a Corsa one. The lower one in this pic is a Corsa linkage
