kutija Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Hi, I am a proud owner of this vehicle which is 1.5 years old (1.4 engine). In the last 14 days i have a serious problem with my gearbox - every morning when i get into my vehicle and when i want to change the gear from the 1st to neutral, it takes a lot of strength to do that. It looks like it's stuck, no matter how i press the clutch. Also, when i want to switch to a reverse, there is a slight noise which can be described as "KRRRRRRRRK" (only way to explain it). Beside this, before the temperature of my car hits normal, it is very hard to get into 1st gear from neutral. So i have a couple of questions - since this is a pretty new car (28 500 km so far), what can be a problem? I have already called my seller to schedule a service but i would like to prepare myself for them. Also if it's a clutch or a gearbox, does the warranty cover it? Thanks for the help :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 does it change 1st to neutral easier when the engine is warm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kutija Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 Oh yes, then it works like a charm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Oh yes, then it works like a charm. that would make me think that its maybe lost gearbox oil? or its the wrong grade? given the car is so new then surely not. best option is to take it back to the dealer for inspection, they might want to keep overnight though to test the theory but hopefully it wont be something you need to pay for.
