Notchy 3rd gear - Focus ST mk3

[All that jazz]

Just wondering if any of you chaps with Focus ST mk3s have experienced any issues with the gearbox? My 2013 petrol with 29k is starting to cause me the occasional issue trying to engage 3rd gear when I get the lever about quarter way into the gate then suddenly come up against a solid wall which requires me to depress the clutch pedal again for it to let me engage. I never rag the box and always change smoothly so rather puzzling how/why this has started to develop.

Anyone seen anything in the tech section of the ST owner's site that shall not be named?

Can't see anything in the technical section of the focus forum.

Thanks. I think I'll order a gearbox oil change with its next service with Stuart in January, see if that cures it.

Is it out of warranty?

Yep.
