#1: Clutch just fitted, changing gears is a bit knotty? Author: Dethnell, Location: United KingdomPosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 4:54 pm ---- So after getting a brand new clutch 8/10 times changing gear is smooth as silk. However the odd few times it feels a bit knotty trying to change gears.
As far as I know from all the previous jobs that have been done on my 1999 206 at no time has the gearbox oil been changed.
My question being would this be a cheap way to see if I can solve the odd time it stuggles to get into gear before thinking the gearbox might be on the way out?
Thankyou in advance

cable clutch or hydraulic? have you check the gear oil level?
did it happen when down shift or up shift? cold or hot? which gear most likely when it happen?
