Hi All

My 2001 A4 2.0 Manual is very "stiff" in the mornings or whenever the "box is cool. It is hard to select gears, especially 1st and 2nd. Once she has be driven for a few km's all is as smooth as silk. Is this normal? What could the cause and cure be?

2nd prob, the arm rest catch is broken, can it be replaced or do I have to replace the complete lid assembly

Notchy gears when cold usually refers to the box oil. It could either need topping up or replacing.

Changed to 75w90, seems smoother, now I notice some play on shifter...

All in all a bit better
