My wife's GTC 1.6T has the dreaded M32 box, and the bearings began making a 'slight' whine noise (Kindly...ahem... picked up by the dealers during a service), the car has only done 32k. Took it to a dealers to have it looked at, under my extended warranty, and they have actually replaced bearings in the box, rather than send it away for a reconditioning... apparently, according to the dealer, Vauxhall are aware of the issue, and have 'just' released a tool that's available to dealers now, which allows them to extract the bearings on-site.
In other words, and of course in my opinion only... "There's a way we can fix these boxes instead of paying someone else to do it".
There is no whining at the moment, but it's of course early days... but I do suspect it's not a great job, as 3rd and 6th I think, are sometimes difficult to select. I saw a how-to on doing an adjustment to this somewhere, may well give this a try myself, otherwise it'll be going back again.
