had the same problem on mk3 astra.found it to be the gear lever linkage at the gearbox end.when the gearbox was refitted the gear lever in car had to be held in a particular position, the gearbox also had to be held in position in this case with a 5mm drill bit slotted into a 5mm hole at top of gearbox.the linkage was then tightened up.hope this is helpful.
