Happy new year to you all.

 

Now to the problem. The last two times I've driven me Z the gearchange has become very stiff after driving for about 10-15 miles. It's fine when cold so obviously temp related.

At first I thought I might have some air in the clutch line as I changed the slave cylinder a few months back, but if I stop, turn the car off, depress the clutch and select gears it's still stiff and quite sticky, i.e if you select slowly the stick moves in jolts. This makes me think it's more box related or on the lever pivot.

 

Anybody experienced anything similar or offer possible causes ?

I had an Audi A6 that did this, put some additive in and it was fine. Lets pretend I did not say it was Slick50

Thanks for the reply Mark, least somebody bothered.

 

I suspect that due to the sudden onset of this problem that something is has broke.

 

An oil change is my first course of action though, even if it just shows me what debree is in the oil. I can then run this through our spectrum analyser at work to see exactly what's in the oil.

Sounds like a plan.

Mine used to do this after about 15 miles of high speed driving

 

I put mt90 gearbox oil in and now its fine :)

As an update I sat on the drive today and wamred the car up to normal operating temp and tried shifting and the problem was there. This surprised me as on a cold day like today without moving I wouldn't expect to put much heat into the gearbox.

 

Oil change when I get back from Spain I think.

 

Cheers
