Hi All,
Bought my 17 plate Cupra 300 last Feb. It drives well but I have noticed that I often feel a slight resistance when changing gears. It's hard to describe but it just feels like the stick slightly catches on something as I shift.
I'm not entirely sure but it seems to happen more when cold, and mainly in the lower gears (1>2 feels the most noticable). Once I'm driving then going from 4>5 for example feels completely smooth. The car is barely over 20k miles for reference.
I am just wondering if any owners of manual Cupras (or other Leons or VW cars) experience the same thing? Is this normal or does it sound like something is wrong?
I probably wouldn't worry if it was this alone but I've also had some (rare) instances where it refuses to let me into first at all, fortunately I can fix this by going into second and then first but it also makes me thing something is wrong.
It doesn't really affect me driving the car but I have a warranty that expires at the end of this month so if something needs to be done I'd want it done before then.
Appreciate any info, thanks.
