Instructions for Gear Lever Mechanism Repair

Model: Vauxhall Corsa Corsa C - Years 2000-2006
Part: Transmission

The mechanism present on the gearbox for engaging the gears (which is operated via cables connected to the gear lever) has two plastic bushings at its ends that, due to wear and aging of the material, make gear engagement difficult, causing a sort of jamming of the lever itself. It is possible to replace the entire mechanism with a new one, but some aftermarket parts manufacturers also sell a repair kit: if the metal support is perfectly intact, then you can proceed with the repair.

This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
