Sloppy Gear changes and crunching into 3rd!

[Amirclio]

Right then,
For about a week or so gear changes have been a bit lumpy and every now and then on down shift it will crunch when going into 3rd and 1st. Also clutch pedal seems a bit stiff. Im suspecting clutch but im aware that some valver gearboxes arent too clever!

Anyone help?
cheers

no mine seems to have good and bad days, oil change definately improved it though as did the new clutch cable after the crap Halfords one I fitted. Fitting one clutch cable was enough without needing to do it again within a month.

try oil to start

copy cables are crap, been down that road with this problem, buy a genuine reno one always lol :lol:

Right! dunno where the clutch cable came from was included with the last clutch change. Could some one post a pic of the route of the cable? Might be a tall order but as close as poss would be great!
Gear box oil change tomorow!

roughly- under airbox, clips in along inner wing then goes back towards drivers side under the bulkhead clipping onto the top of the subframe, behind heatshield then through the bulkhead into the foot well (the tough bit) use the old cable to pull new one into the foot well.

Oh thats presuming your changing it. Dom
