Good morning gents,,

hoping someone can shed some light on an issue I’ve just noticed?? Over the past couple of weeks when my car seems to get hot (running temp) for a while when I stop I can’t get first gear and sometimes second it’ll go into any other gear perfectly. If I choose 3rd it’ll will go into first and second but sometimes it will not so I have to start in 3rd ?? It does this I think more in stop start traffic but then it’s like it clears and will pop into gears ok?? Anyone have a clue as to why or what I can look for,,, haven’t check fluid level yet 

any other time it goes into gears fine no clunking and biting point is about halfway up from the floor and if I leave handbrake it and set off it does stall (if I let it ) 

thanks peeps

Usual first step here is to do a linkage alignment.

Use the search facilities here and on YouTube.

Something mine also suffers with, sitting in traffic for ages is a killer for mine, makes it a nightmare to get back into gear.
