I'll try and describe my problem as best i can ... I'm getting a new clutch in a week as it has 'clutch judder' in first and second gear but my main problem is that when i change into any gear the gear change feels kind of dry and clunks a little, it never pops out of gear so thats ok, just that its no where near as nice as it should be! What are the possibilities it could be? Gear linkages? gear box oil? Or even the clutch? (I suppose i'll see if it's the clutch soon) Cheers

mine was clunky when i first started using it, then over time it become smoother to use and alot less clunky, it still clunks a little bit but nowhere near as bad as it did, think thats what there sposed to do though so that you know you've changed gear i'd say maybe it just needs using a bit more to losen it off (just a guess though)
