OK so drove 300miles non stop, plus loads of slow driving and gear changes through roadworks etc,
What was happening near the end last 70miles or so was that the gearbox started feeling slightly 'notchy', the following day drove it and it was perfect.
I'm guessing it was just because the gearbox oil is old and needing changed, and as it was getting hot, and because it is old its not doing its job as it should. Am i right? I'm going to change the oil and also the clutch/brake fluid too, i assume dot5 for the fluid but what grade for the gear oil? Anything else i should be checking? Obviously i'll bleed the system.
Its a Punto JTD 2001 72Kish on the clock.
