F23 Gear Stick Lever Bush Repair Fix Kit Compatible With Vauxhall Opel Astra 2 II & 3 III H F 23 Meriva 1 I Zafira Vectra B C

Vehicles affected: ASTRA II 2 G (1998-2009), ASTRA III 3 H (2004-2013), COMBO C (2001-2011), MERIVA I 1 (2002-2009), VECTRA B C (1999-2008), ZAFIRA A (1998-2005). All petrol engines and the diesel engines: 1.7, 2.0, 2.2. Models with a Manual F23 Gearbox with cable operation and reverse selected in the far bottom right (not top left). The gear stick feels loose / sloppy and it can be difficult to shift in to gear. Typically Reverse or 1st gear is hard to select or requires force. Crunching gears can also be a symptom of this fault. The nylon bush within the gear shift mechanism wears causing excess movement and gear shift faults. This excess play allows the gearstick to move up and down inside the mechanism leading to a loose feeling when selecting gears or can even make it difficult to select certain gears. Previously the only solution to this issue was to replace the entire gear shift assembly as the bush was not available as an individual part. Fit our replacement gear shift bush and eliminate the excess play in the gear shifter unit. Our part fits in exactly the same way as the original and will return the gear shift to original condition with sharp gear changes and no excess play. Our bush is a precision injection moulded part (we are not currently aware of any others offering this) this means the part will fit perfectly and is the same fit as the OE part.
