I have a 1.4 16v Grande Punto with 6-speed gearbox. 70,000 miles
As said in the title the issue only really affects the lower 3 gears. I try not to apply too much force when changing gears, but it will eventually go into gear if i persist. Double de-clutching also works. Its also a very intermittent problem, sometimes the change will be extremely smooth but it is common enough for it to become an irritant.
From what I've read, worn synchro-mesh is a possibility.
Any one else had this problem? Is it worth fixing?
Slight gearbox leak was noted on its last service. Don't know if this is relevant... probably not.
