Hello all,
I'm sorry to post that the gearbox of my nissan micra is functioning alarmingly difficultly.
It seems something is wrong with 3rd gear, but only when passing from 3rd to neutral or to all other gears ( I didn't try from 3rd to reverse ;-) but in that case it wouldn't come as a surprise ).
It takes a lot of force to make the movement exiting from 3rd gear, and it feels like the oil behaves like rubber liquid, but really only with the 3rd gear, I don't understand.
It started to behave like this only last week, and the car has some 180.000 kms on the clock.
When I try to make this movement when the engine is not running ( or at least when I'm not driving ), then sometimes the movement is normal and free of friction.
Can anyone shed some light on this problem ? Much obliged.
Regards,
carl
