When my car is cold it is particularly tricky to get into any gear, no crunching or anything, just struggles to get into position. As soon as it’s done a mile or two it’s back to normal. I have assumed gear box oil is old and need replacing but if anyone can either confirm or suggest an alternative it would be much appreciated. Thanks. |

Sounds like contaminated clutch plate to me. Normally the rear seal on the engine weeping oil onto it. It makes the plate sticky & reluctant to release from the flywheel. On little used cars or cars left standing it can be rust on the flywheel which will disappear with regular use. A few clutch slipping take offs with lots of revs will cure that as well. |

Thanks for that, I have suspected a leaking rear seal since I have had the car, unfortunately it has been difficult to identify... possible sump gasket leak, however if this is a symptom it certainly seems more likely to be the oil seal. I will give the slipping clutch a try and see how it goes. Maybe clutch will be next winters job! |

I have the same on my 944, its a bit notchy when cold, but when it warms up it slips effortlessly into every gear, I just thought it was a quirk of the car ?? |

I don’t think it’s possible for a rear seal to leak onto the plate as there is a flywheel in the way, the RMS will leak on the back face of the flywheel and then get flicked off on to the inside of the bell housing |
