Vauxhall Astra gears don't engage

Car: Vauxhall Astra
Variant: Sports tourer
Model Year: 2013
Categories: Gearbox & Clutch
I am unable to get 1st and reverse gears in the morning, when cold. Once warm, it is mostly ok.
The clutch, flywheel and fluid has been replaced, and I still have the same issue. There are no leaks from the master cylinder.

If it's not clutch related , check gearbox oil level and that it's correct grade or change same .

My 2015 2 lire Diesel just the same when cold. Its a well known problem. I have changed gearbox oil for slightly lighter grade, helped a bit but .....................
Helps if you engage third and forth gear before trying for first or reverse.
