i cant get my corsa in second gear whats wrong?

Answer 1

i have a corsa , and one day the gears just stopped working only first and second though , oh and reverse , i took it to a garage and they assured me that it was the clutch , so i paid and they fixed , then they told me they were wrong and it was the gear selector that had gone . so again i paid they fixed , however they got it right second time round , no refund for new clutch mind you , they seen me coming ,so have the gear selector checked before the clutch to avoid paying for something you may not need .

Answer 2

Hello, I have a 53 plate Corsa Elegance and my second gear also gave me problems. The problem is the gear linkage. Luckily my Corsa, when the problem occured, was still under the manufacturers 3 year warrenty. I took mine to W.Grose and they admit it's a 'common fault' for the Corsa.
Be sensible, the car is dangerous to drive, get the linkage fixed asap.

Regards.
Matthew.

My Megane Scenic suffers a similar problem, only when on hills though. I have a better gearbox lined up though so it can take longer gear changes.

I'd pop it in to a local small independant garage if I were you. Ask tell them the problem and let them drive it round the block, and they'll diagnose the problem, but act as though you will use them for the repair, and it'll be free as they expect your custom afterwards. Then when diagnosed ring round all the garages and ask for a quote on the repairs including parts. I would then ring suppliers to these garages (see yellow pages) and ask the price of the parts. Thus giving you an Idea who will rip you off and who'll do it honestly priced. If your Corsa is a 93/94 model, i'd consider selling it spares or repair if the work is in excess of £500, as its like pouring a years wages down the toilet.
Good luck any who!

Answer 4

I have the exact same problem. I got my car serviced at a well known garage, two days later I was unable to get it into gear. They told me that it was the gear linkage and they temporarily fixed although they said it would last a lifetime, apparantly. Now it is broke again and it is going to cost me over £200 to get it fixed.

Answer 5

I had a similar problem with an Astra a few years ago. The problem was a misalignment in the gear linkages - you need to take to the garage to be fixed unless you are very handy with cars..

Answer 6

Prob broke a gear. That happens from dropping the clutch after putting it in second. Especially if you "race" alot...

The best solution is to gain control over it. As someone already said, stop when you're getting there and relax. Pay more attention to pleasuring your mate--orally, perhaps--and avoid rubbing your penis up against anything while doing so. It will take work on your part and patience on both parts.

As a last resort, some antidepressants curb sexual functioning with the intention of learning the pleasure of restraint after which you could taper off them. Here's your goal: the longer you can delay your orgasm, the more intense it will be. So it isn't just a matter of satisfying your mate. This is the main reason some claim stoned sex is better, unlike drunk sex which can leave you unable to perform (brewer's droop). You enjoy exploring each other longer. And remember, oral isn't just one place. It's all over, paying particular attention to kissing, and TALK about what each of you like. Strange how people don't talk about sex when they're the ones doing it.

If manual: Change your gear box oil.

If automatic: Change your transmission fluid.

Don't take it to a shop. Do it yourself, and do it right. This is minor stuff.
