you have to push it down when changing gears

I was having gear selection troubles on ma 3dr, esp 1st to 2nd, fitted a B+M quickshift and it was magicly cured

But going by how "hard" (ie not) you drive, id guess the box was on its way already and now is even more so.

Whens the last time the gear oil was changed? It got any in there?

Ginge - what do you mean "it's playing up"?

Is it just crunching into a particular gear, or is it whining like Dingy late at night?
