Evening all.
So for as long as I can remember the car has always had an intermittent issue of it being stiff to get it out of 3rd gear when changing up to 4th.
However I have been using the car quite a lot more recently as a bit of a shake down ahead of a big move over to Ireland from South Wales at the end of September. As a result the issue is definitely getting more pronounced.
It usually only starts happen once I have driven a couple of miles. The down change from 4th to 3rd is fine and it comes out of 3rd fine when changing down to second.
It is a 500 f with 70k on the clock, the box has never been rebuilt but oil changed regularly with the last change only done 6 months ago and level check only last month.
Any thoughts on what could be the problem or where to start trouble shooting that would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Al
