c4 Grand Spacetourer heavy gear change

Unread post by Zilla »

Hi

I have a 2018 C4 Grand Spacetourer 1.2 Petrol Manual

Just noticed gear changes have become really heavy. 1st to 2nd is most noticeable.

I'm not sure what to search for as nothing came up when I tried, but is this a common fault?

Today when driving I notice, although am I hyper aware? that at the end of the clutch pedal when pressing to change it feels notchy, like the last part is on a ratchet, its not a noise as such just not super smooth. I also think that when the car is off (engine off that is) it does feel easier to change however not 100% sure.

I do park on an incline and tend to sit nose down, the gear change issue seems worse when I have been parked nose down a slope, and better when parking on flat for the initial few changes.

I can post vin etc. but wasn't sure if that is needed?

I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!
