Probably. Maybe someone put snakeoil in the box and knackered the requirement for friction on the races attached to the gears. Drain the gearbox oil, put the recommended stuff in and hopefully all will be well. If not, keep working that left foot. Old timers like me were brought up on it. DaveK.
Cable clutch needs adjustment?
Sorted problem,filed a piece of plastic down that was stopping me push the gear knob far enough left to go into 1st and 2nd just inside the gear lever box.Bloody shabby Vauxhall plastic parts.Cheers for your suggestion though.

Wish it was all so easy !!

Probably a worn rubber part somewhere else that's causing this.
