Hey guys, any one with a manual transmission have a notch in going into 1st gear? My gearbox is super notchy when it's cold, and very especially in 1st gear. How would I grease it up? After 10-15 mins it loosens up but the 1st gear notch never goes away.
Secondly, when I have the clutch engaged FULLY, as in my butt is lifted off the seat (to erase any doubt, I don't do this every time obviously), if I switch to 1st when I'm coming to a stop and stop half-way between N and 1st, I can feel the tranny kicking against the shift lever/knob, with the speed of the engine rpm. I can avoid this, but I can also actuate it every time with the right deceleration speed and throw-distance. I obviously avoid it. Do you guys have these issues? I worked at a dealership and I know they dog the hell out of the manuals when you bring them in, so I wanted to ask before dropping it off. It is brand new (1200miles) and has done this the whole ownership. Should I just take it in and ask them to lube/inspect it?
Thanks in advance guys!
