My 115bhp PD model car has done 106k miles. It drives very well. One thing i have noticed is that the gearchange is a tiny bit notchy. I am being a bit picky as it does change smoothly but sometimes needs a bit of a firm change, particularly into first. It does get a bit better when warmed up but is still a bit stiff. My question is, are they all like this? Would anyone recommend a change in the gear oil? What are the intervals and can anyone recommend the type of oil to use? The clutch bites quite high but seems to work properly.

Thanks

Doesn't anyone have a slightly notchy gearchange? Are you all super smooth?
