Is it normal for gears on a new car to be a bit 'grindy'? I've had 1.4 sport for almost a month, only 300 miles so far, and notice that gear changing is not smooth. It sometimes takes a fair bit of force to push stick into right gear - particularly when going down gears. Is this usual behaviour for a new gearbox that will loosen up and get smoother or a potential problem? (I'm sure it's not my driving - I'm not aggressive with it and never had this on 9 year old car I traded in)
