Hi all, my 2010 Bravo 1.4 t-jet with M32 gearbox, I bought a few months ago, has had the gearbox bearings replaced and oil full filled up ~2.8 litre by previous owner. Apparently the oil needs to be changed every 2 years to avoid bearing issues again?
The issue is the 2nd gear sometimes doesn't want to pop in properly, usually it's from 1 to 2, or when it feels it sits but actually doesn't and I release the clutch, there's a grinding noise and have to clutch again, and try 2nd again.
Even if it pops into 2nd properly, feels like it need more guiding than it'd be necessary, like being firm but letting it guide itself as well, which ain't the best when driving in traffic. The rest of the gears are good, 3-4-5-6 shift absolutely fine, Reverse works without issues, 1st struggles a bit from time to time but hasn't given that grinding noise issue.
Someone has mentioned that's not regular M32 and could be linkage adjustment related, I can't find threads about it.
Any info on this issue? Cheers
