Hi all - I am new to these parts!
Anyway I have just recently bought a nice low mileage Cinq Sporting in excellent nick, which I spent ages looking for as I have bought it with the intention of cherising it and keeping it for a long time!
I have done over a thousand trouble free miles in it until this morning.... I went to drive it and the gearbox is suddenly very stiff, 1st and 2nd are nigh on impossible to select, 3rd, 4th and 5th aren't too bad, reverse does go in BUT with the most almighty "THUNK" which makes the car shake.
I'm gutted as the car really was such a hoot to drive and I'm missing using it already.
Anybody have any suggestions as to what has caused this and where I can start looking to investigate/fix the problem?
Thanks!
