I have a strange problem with my 2005 TD5 gearbox
Or maybe it’s just how they are.
The gear change was obstructive when the transmission was warm, mainly in the higher gears when it clashed and felt generally as though the clutch was dragging.
But in the lower gears it was OK.
So l had a new clutch and flywheel fitted (at nearly £1,000) now it’s perfect in all gears when cold, but when warm it will sometimes clash when changing 1-2 or 2-3
Higher gears are perfect !!
l am not sure if anything be done about this, my 110 has been like that changing from 2-3 for the past 60,000 miles
Never got any better or worse.
ls it worth changing to one of the fancy oils that claims to “transform the TD5 gearshift” (At around £70 for three litres)
Looking at old threads on this and other forums, these gearboxes are not always great even when new and some people had several fitted under warranty back in the day.
This oil seems to promise improvements
