C5 gear linkage

[imperial21]

Hi
Is the linkaged adjustable on the C5 ? I have just had the clutch changed etc and have the car back but second gear is a bit rough and reverse in hard work to get.
My friend did the clutch change and says he took the block off the gearbox with the cables on and didnt remove the cables he will check that the block is on right but otherwise he says the cable may need adjusting if possible.

The cables can be adjusted I cannot remember if there are release buttons to press or if the cable ends have horseshoe clips which can be removed to allow adjustment.

When you say reverse is a bit rough, do you mean hard to find or crunching? The cable bracket should only go on one way really.

I'm not sure if the C5 cables are the same as the Xantia but on the last Xantia I had the outer cable had come loose from the crimped end and instead of moving the link it slid in and out of the crimp when I tried to engage reverse.

I bodged it with a home made clamp and it's still going ok now two years on.
