Vauxhall Vectra diesel 2ltrs 2004 - gear changing issue - ssam

Hi

The issue started today when after driving 10 minutes, on the busy road, I slowed down and change gear stick into 1st gear. When tried to change into 2nd gear on speeding up,the gear stick get stuck and refused to go into gear 2 position and then back to gear 1 position. I stopped the car at the nearest point and turned ignition off. Tried the gears and they were working good with ignition off.I waited couple of minutes and started engine again. Tried the gears and they were working fine. drove couple of minutes and then again gear stick stuck and refused to go into the gear positions. Now the situation is, When I start the car, the gears are good. After few minutes drive, they started getting stuck and then I can't change gears. please advise.

That model has a dual mass flywheel which I suspect is failing thus the gear change problem Regards Peter
