Notchy Gearbox

[Tomh94]

I’ve noticed over the last 6 months or so my gearbox has gotten a lot stiffer on my 09 370.

 

1st to 2nd often goes in with a crunch and does not feel great, 2nd to 3rd can also be quite notchy and stiff and above about 120mph it simply will not go into 6th, which is quite concerning. I noticed this whilst driving through Germany on the autobahn, Genuinely the truth, not just making excuses for speeding :’)

 

Just wondered if anyone had any similar gearbox issues or has any advice on what could help

 

cheers

A common issue and usually resolved by changing the gear oil and adding molyslip in with it. If that doesnt sort it you prob have bigger problems.
