Hi all,

Ive a 2010 insignia and sometimes when selecting 1st gear reverse is engaged instead

what causes this?

thanks

I've never had this on any Vauxhall I've owned. I would guess there's an issue with linkages if it keeps happening and you're 100% sure you're not activating the trigger on the gearstick.

Hi there,

cheers for the reply.

yeh definitely not pushing the reverse triggers. I always know when its going to happen - the gear is difficult to engage then the reverse beep sometimes comes on and reverse is engaged.

Get your linkages checked then mate.

Just a thought, does it happen immediately after you've selected reverse? Maybe the lifter is sticking?

Hi there,

thanks for your reply.

OK will get that checked

No, most commonly it happens when i go to select first from neutral at red lights

It's either as above the linkages , or the reverse trigger ant quite going down fully .
Try a bit of silicone spray on the reverse trigger and work it like a bit of flappy skin to see if the trigger will pop out a bit more .

Just like when someone mentions black wheels!
