Fiesta Mk7 Gear Changing

[yozzerhughes]

Hi not long had my fiesta edge and i am wondering if its just my crap driving or that the fiesta gear box is a tad delicate, especially in third, if i try to change gear quickly especially in third i get a slight but very short grinding noise, if i depress the clutch all the way, and change gear slowly but in a relaxed way no problem.I just find having too depress the clutch all the way too the floor worrying as other cars i have driven dont. I dont have the problem with the reverse gear.

Cheers

You're in the habit of NOT pushing the clutch fully down?

I think this may be the problem if I'm honest. :\

Hi its probably just me, being over sensative with the gear box, it would probaly help if i adjust my driving style, and try not too use the fiesta gearbox as if it was a quick change sports box.

Cheers

I can change my gears as fast as I like. I sometimes drive fairly "spirited", but my clutch is fully to the floor when gear changing so i have no issues.
