Hi

I had my clutch slave and master cylinder replaced as they went. Since then gears 1,3,5 don't feel quite right (I believe the term is maybe notchy) although it does select the gear no problem. Gears 2 and 4 are fine -totally normal.

I took it back to the garage and they said gearbox bearings and gearbox will need to come out for reconditioning. Approx £800.

I'm just slightly suspicious because the issue has only been since they replaced the slave and master cylinder.

It's a 2015 speed 1.6 diesel, 130k miles

Does this seem to make sense?

Thanks

Spelling

maybe a weak pressure plate causing the friction plate not to fully disengage

Hmmm. Thanks. Don't think I'm going pay for gearbox to come out unless I know for sure that is the problem..

Just some ideas.

Have the clutch bled

Follow the gear selectors to gearbox detach from the lever. Take that 2 or 1 pin bit of metal just under the 2 pictured in below. Clean shaft and where it inserts and grease inside and reassemble. Helped solve my MK2 octy and Fab Mk1 gear selection issues. Of course you could also readjust cables procedure on YouTube.

Ps is the number 2 under where the orange selector cable is just above where the red circle is on this example picture.
