2021 Vauxhall Grandland X low gears not engaging.

Car: Vauxhall Grandland X
Year: 2021
Variant: Business
Categories: Gearbox & Clutch
I have an erratic problem with the manual gearbox in that 3rd, 2nd and 1st gears will not engage when changing down on winding country lanes. It is unpredictable but seems to occur mainly when the gearbox is being worked hard with numerous up and down changes. Often when stopping at a junction 1st will not engage or only partially engages resulting in a crunching noise. There are only 10,000 miles on the clock and I have had the car from new.

Check with your dealership if this is a known fault or any recall in relation to this fault . I think there were problems on some years with the clutch master cylinder and may have been replaced under warranty . Better get it checked and logged on Vauxhall sytem in case it develops , This is from another member

Thank you. I have the car booked in with the original main dealership where it was purchased. I had a similar problem with second gear shortly after purchase but was told “there is nothing wrong”. The problem is intermittent so arguing is difficult and it was only on a long trip recently that it suddenly became acute before clearing after an overnight stop.

It can be frustrating trying to replicate intermittent faults for diagnosing at times , but keep at them for a solution
