Hey Guys

I was wondering do any of you guys who have a Wq Fiesta have any problems with the gearbox? reason i ask is that when i change from first to second it is really hard to get in now being this is my first manual car i may be a chicken and worried about blowing gearbox but it is really annoying now it only happens in the morning mainly when the gearbox is cold cause when i drive it heaps and it is warm the gearbox is beautiful not one problem but when it is cold changing from first to second is a mission any gear after that not a problem its just first to second let me no your thoughts on this

if there is a problem straight to ford and there fixing it the car only has 23,000 km on the clock

cheers
James

Could be the inherent clutch problem?

May need the gearbox oil replacing with some quality Synthetic ... or 2nd synchro could be crook.

I presume it's under warranty, take it back to Ford and see if they can offer any assistance with it.
