Gearbox gets stiff!!


Recommended Posts

Can anyone give me any advice?

I have a Lupo 1.4 with manual gears.

In the past couple of weeks I have noticed my gearbox getting more difficult to change.

After starting the car the gears are fairly easy to change but after driving about 10 minutes the gears get harder to change fom one to the other. The reverse is the hardest of them all and sometimes I have to go into neutral, lift the clutch and then change to reverse.

Not sure if it is bearings issue, fluid or selector problem!!

Please advise....

Many Thanks

might be worth checking/changing your gearbox oil levels. Mine just went in to have it's selector shaft seal replaced cos it was leaking oil. I was seeing similar symptoms, mine was hard getting into 2nd and 4th.

Thanks for the replies, I will check then with my local indie garage, now I have more of an idea what I will be expecting!

Thanks. ;)

My leaky selecter seal only showed up after i knocked my undertray off on a speedbump, when my tame mech was refitting it, he noticed the oil leak.
