| Stiff gear changes I am a new sei sporting owner and drove the car today noticed clunking from rear. Suspension seems fine and has just passed an MOT yesterday so could be something else. Also the gear changes are a bit on the stiff side. Is this normal or does it point to a dodgy clutch or gear box? Help would be appreciated. Thanks

 | Re: Stiff gear changes I got a cinq sporting a few weeks ago.. was hard to shift, grinding into reverse, noisy, and got only 30 mpg. After total service tune up, flushed out oil, new sparks, etc... with clutch cable replaced, it was like a totally different car, now gets 46mpg and gear shifting is great... 87,000 miles and I'm the tenth owner!

| Re: Stiff gear changes Try filling the gearbox up with gearbox oil. if my Cinquecento's geabox gets low it gets stiffer and crunches a bit jb88

 | Re: Stiff gear changes it could be something as simple as you using too thick gearbox oil.. try whack something a bit thinner in.. do you find the gear changes are alot stiffer when the engine is cold ?
