Over the last few weeks gear selection has been rather notchy, and it feels like I'm having to change gears with a gearbox full of crap. It is especially apparent in 2nd gear but happens throughout all the gears.
E.g. Setting off in 1st and changing up into 2nd at roughly 1700rpm it shows resistances as it the lever goes from central position left into 2nd gear. The car has done 36,000 miles and the majority of the time it has spent its life in 5th gear (motorways mainly).
It it is a 1.3 diesel with a 5 speed manual gearbox (I've checked the slave cylinder travel on the gearbox and it looks to be working fine).
Has anyone else had this problem before? When brand new it was smooth as silk but now it feels like I'm changing gears in something that's made out of cheese.
