Don't know if this is the correct section to ask this question but my gearbox or clutch (don't know to be honest) is giving me problems, from cold in the morning when starting its difficult to put into 1st sometimes I have to touch the accelerator to help it go into gear. The clutch doesn't slip and it pulls away as normal also the gears don't crunch so I don't think it's the synchromesh. There is 120000 miles on the clock ( car is an English import) and the clutch hasn't been changed since new, I'm guessing that it might need a new clutch but it works fine, a bit of a head melt, any ideas, cheers.

Where is octy 2 section

If it is struggling to go into gear and you are having to rev the car to get it in it does sound to me like a clutch issue, I wouldn't have thought it was a synchromesh problem.

 

When it wont go into 1st have you tried selecting another one of the gears first ? - do they go in ok? Have you tried going into 2nd or 3rd (with clutch pedal down) and then tried selecting 1st?

Aren't they a fluid clutch? You could try bleeding it.

Thanks for the reply.
