Opel Astra
1
My name is Sabina and I have 2, 5 year old Opel Astra. This is my 3 Opel Astra car. After almost one year I started to have problems with gears. For most of the time it drove perfect, but for unknown reason it was not possible to change gears, or very difficult. It was only for 1 and 2, after moving to 3 it was possible to change further. The car went to a garage a few times but they could not find anything. At the end it was a recall to replace some parts and clutch was maintained. Due to Corona I did not drive much last year but last month it started again. I have no idea when this can happen when I drive I can feel the problem. At first it is possible to change gears using force, but at certain moment changing gears in not possible any more. I stopped already in rush hour in the middle of busy road crossing. At that point gears are blocked in neutral and not possible to change them anymore. It is possible to unblock them by restart engine multiple times. I went to garage again, but nothing was done and nothing found. Could you advise what maybe a problem? Is this known? Is there a possibility to fix it?
