i have a problem of changing into 2nd gear from 1st when cold, it is very stiff and at times slightly crunchy when changing into 2nd.
i also have a problem when downshifting from 3rd - 2nd - 1st or when changing to 1st coming up to the lights etc.
now the 1st to 2nd gear change problem seems to go away after a few mins of driving but the 2nd problem of wanting to select 1st or 2nd on downshift approaching lights etc seems to stay even when warm.
i have a slight clutch slip, and i mean slight, and also a rattling noise coming from gearbox when idling (noise goes away when clutch pressed).
which leads me to belive the clutch/ release bearing is on its way out, could this also be likely causing the gear selection problems?
ive recently give the gearbox oil a flush and change to no benefit.
long winded question but hope its clear to understand.
any help welcomed
