Again, thanks for a useful forum!
Second issue with my 'new' Stilo.
The gear stick feels very 'lumpy', so much that it is easy to overshoot the middle position making it hard to select 3/4 gear first time when moving from 2nd or 5th. It doesn't self centre. Unlike, other threads I have found it is not a complete failure, I can select all gears and drive the car but it would be nice to get 3/4 first time and going from 5-2nd is not going to prolong gearbox/clutch life!
The car has recently had a new clutch and all the gears work smoothly when making forward/backwards changes.
I'm wondering if this is a linkage problem or an issue with the gearstick gate, and if so, how do I fix it? Could it have been caused by hamfistery when the clutch was changed?
