Why doesn't reverse gear on the Opel Corsa?
Years 2006-2014

Answer

Several cases have been reported on the Opel Corsa in which difficulties are encountered in engaging reverse gear. It seems to be a characteristic of the gearbox, which is not perfectly synchronized on the rear, so the car must be completely stationary and, to avoid "scratching" it is advisable to engage first gear and then reverse.
