clunky gears
« on: 28 April 2011, 01:22 »
i have found the move from first to second gear a little clunky until she warms up. I would like to know if anyone else has noticed this.Is this just a thing or can something be done/checked. Thanks

No problems with my manual box, it is one of the smoothest boxes I've had.

Mine has the same issue, but not from new. I have done about 28,000kms and its started at around 16,000kms, but hasn't become more noticeable, since it started.

thanks, it seems to be just from 1st to second with mine and only when i first set off. I am going to pop it in to see if anything is wrong. 11 000 miles done with mine.
