Has anyone found when thay change gear its a little noisy like the bushes between the gear stick and the gear box are not doing there job just sounds a bit bit cheap. Dose anybody no if there is a fix for this i have to take it to the dealer but not having a great deal of luck with them

Gear change is poor. Very notchy and rubbery. Although seems slightly better on mine now I’ve done over 800 miles. Will certainly be mentioning it to the dealer in the near future.

Yes I reported early on that the gear change was 'clunky' and seemed to grate through the change

I had this issue and the dealership agreed, but Vauxhall told the dealership to drive others to see if they are the same.

Long story short,the gearstick tower and linkages were replaced, and it is so slick now.

Never had a problem with the gear box I have a 68 plate. My brother has a 18 plate and he can't believe how smooth my gear box was compared to his. I will drive his and see if there is a difference

2018 June Sport Nav 1.2T, super smooth gear shift. Clutch is still a learning curve though after my previous vauxhalls, especially from 1st to 2nd.
