Hi,
Wondering if anyone has experienced any common issue on 2016 MY Fiesta where it gets stuck in gear and takes a bit of effort to get out, then hard to get into gear, this issue happens once or twice every few days then goes away again.
Tried pumping clutch when it happens, was thinking maybe its something stuck or jamming in there. Hopefully not gearbox issue.

Any ideas or previous issues ?

Sound like your synchromesh is going 1/2 gear by chance, we had this on a 2013 125 manual?

Gear change problems are very common with Ecoboost cars. Google it and you'll find lots of reports with an almost equal number of 'cures', for example:
