How to Unlock the Gear Lever of an Automatic Opel Corsa D

Model: Vauxhall Corsa Corsa D - Years 2006-2014
Part: Transmission

In this video, you can see how to unlock the gear lever of an Opel Corsa D with the automatic gearbox stuck in the park position. If the lever is stuck and you cannot move the vehicle, you may need to load it onto a tow truck due to a fault, or if there is no issue preventing it from moving, it may simply be stuck in the park position and seems impossible to release. You need to lift the cover surrounding the lever, possibly using a plastic spatula: underneath, you will find a yellow lever that you can push with your finger or a flat screwdriver, while simultaneously pressing the button at the back of the gearbox and pulling the lever back. This will allow you to unlock the lever in an emergency.

Over time, frequent use of the key's flip mechanism in the vehicle, dozens of times a day, inevitably leads to wear of the internal spring. As shown in this video, replacing the spring is quite simple and takes little time. After opening the casing halfway, first position the key, then the spring housing, and finally insert the spring into the previously mentioned housing. Close the casing by rotating it clockwise, ensuring all components fit perfectly, and test the key's flip mechanism.
