Has anyone questioned the very slack gear changes on Punto Actives. The car my wife drives seems to have a very loose gear change mechanism although the gears select correctly. Also there seem to be a "Flat Spot" when accelerating gently from rest. Any help/advice would be appreciated.

the gear change is done by cables rather than a linkage like on older cars

what car is it exactly? my 1.2 had a slight flat spot but a full service cleared it (plugs are supposed to be changed every 18K miles)
