I've been having a few problems of late when the gearbox is cold, it was struggling going into 2nd from 1st and 3rd with grinding or being very difficult to put into gear but once warmed up all is well.
This week I've noticed everytime I come on and off the clutch in queuing traffic (1st and 2nd) I'm getting a clunk/thud then this morning when I went for 2nd gear and it was as if it weren't there and suddenly sorted itself.
Tonight when I was trying to take my mum to Hammersmith, in the queuing traffic, I started to get a grinding/whining noise when crawling along in traffic (constantly on off the clutch, using both clutch and accelerator) but after a a couple of miles of clear traffic and very light and steady acceleration the noise disappears unless I mash my foot into the floor then under heavy load you can hear it.
I had done some research before today's symptoms and borrowed it down to gear linkages, clutch or synchromesh's (already had 'box oil changed) but after today I'm thinking its def the clutch more than anything. Does this sound right or could there be other things a miss? All symptoms are when pulling away on the clutch or slightly hard acceleration
Any help greatly appreciated
