VXOC Astra-J/GTC

Hello to all.

I have a 2012 Zafira C (Tourer) and started to have a problem in the shift knob.
The shift drives normally for shifting gears, but the gear does not return to its original position by itself.
Same as this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Bx6XjWofEw

Can anyone help, or already had this problem?
IS there an "easy" solution for this?

Thank you

Once in while mine does this no idea why lasts for 5mins or so then goes back to normal.

@vocky may have an answer.

Thank for your reply .

Well mine has being doing this for a while now .. a few months i guess.

Its just really annoying, and i was wondering if :
1- Is is expensive to resolve 
2 - left like this will bring later bigger problems .

Thanks

probably needs the gear linkage adjusting, which does not take long to do

Hello.

Does that job needs a qualified mechanic to perform? Or is it someone can do with youtube or something?

Thanks
