Hi All
Just wondering if you have any ideas on a sticky 2nd gear. For the first 30 mins or so of a run no problems with gear selection, but as car gets warmer 2nd gear gets quite sticky going in or out.
thanks in advance

There been a few posts similar to this one. Aparently 'they all do that sir'.

I wouldn't say mine sticks, but the smoothness of shifting both up and down gears gets a bit harsher once the engine is warm. I've been through the paranoia of thinking that theres a transmission fluid leak etc!!

Mine doesn't do it so they don't all do that - hmm maybe mine is faulty.

An oil change would be my first suggestion, could be that someone has put the wrong grade oil in the 'box.

T/.

P.S. check out the new smileys - nice Ted!
