thanks people. So as a summary the kit in the picture is:
*The right kit for the job, but will more than likely wear again?
*The wrong kit for the job dont buy it?

I have a metal complete linkage ready to fit to my corsa. It comes withh all the brackets and joints.
My question- do you have to fit the complete assembly or can you leave off the bracket that attaches to the subframe area behind the steering rack because it looks a pig of a job to get off. I am planning on unclipping that part and replacing everything else.
Hope this makes sense. Cheers.
got my gear linkage fixed today, it totally ****ed up the other night, wouldnt go into any gear so had to get it towed into my local garage, £90 in total, fitted etc.
fitted new linkage today. can get all gears but shifting into reverse goes in without lifting stick. worrying when i wanted first gear and keep getting reverse
Its not set up right then, chuck the instructions that came with it in the bin.
Get a 5 mm drill bit.
Lift up the gear stick gaitor.
Insert 5mm drill bit in the hole on the left of the gear stick.
Push the stick left till you lign up with the 5mm hole to stop you accidently going into reverse, Lock gear stick into position with dril bit.
Lift bonnet,
Loosen linkage from the gear stick push rod ( this is the allen bolt fitting)
On the gearbox twist the selector rod towards the passenger wing and press in the yellow / orange locking pin.
Tighten the allen bolt fitting,
remove drill bit,
twist gear selector on the gearbox towards the passenger wing till the yellow / orange pin releases.
do I need to lock the gear in the hole and lock the gearbox by pressing the button thing in before I start removing the old linkage? how easy is it to change? pic will help thanks
No you do both those 2 after you've removed the Linkage and fitted the new one(clamp bolt loose). Then once the 5mm drill bit is fitted to in the gear stick part and the yellow plunger is depressed(turn the selector towards passenger side), you tighten the clamp bolt(9ft/lb plus 255degrees)
