I have asked about this before. Quite a while ago actually but its still happening.

Firstly the gear change was very stiff. Then the clutch cable snapped. We changed this but found that it needed to be spaced at the gearbox go get gears.

After a few months this cable snapped. We put another one in but could not space it enough to get a gear. I then had a new clutch. Yes at a cost of £250. The problem was still there. Difficult gear change. The mechanic then spaced it again. Absolutly pefect until now.

Since it got warmer I have noticed notchy gear change. This is esspecially try once i had been idling in traffic whether it had been in gear (clutch down) or in neutral.

Today after going to town and doing a bit of stop and start again I couldn't get into gear without turning off the engine. Once I had done this even with the clutch pedal fully depressed it was in contact enough to pull the car forward.

haynes Manual suggests:
(1) Clutch fault-unlikly as a clutch changwe made no difference
(2) Worn/damaged gear linakge-but why only when hot?
(3) Worn Synchroniser (whatever than is???)

Any ideas :?
