How to fix the gear shift issue in a Vauxhall Astra?

I have been experiencing a problem with my Vauxhall Astra where the gear shift seems to get stuck and I am unable to shift gears smoothly. What could be causing this issue and how can I fix it?

It is possible that there is an issue with the transmission fluid. I would recommend checking the transmission fluid levels and topping up if necessary. If the issue persists, it may be best to take your car to a mechanic for further inspection.

Have you tried checking the gear shift linkage? If it is damaged or loose, it can cause issues with shifting gears. You can try tightening or replacing the linkage to see if that resolves the issue.

I had a similar issue with my Astra and it turned out to be a faulty clutch. I would suggest getting your clutch checked as well.
