Hi all
I'm about to buy a vehicle, but I noticed difficulty in engaging first and reverse gears, especially just after startign the car.
When engaging reverse the gears grind and crunch unless I really jam the gearstick into place. First gear is also quite stiff and requires a real push.
Is this is major (expensive) problem? The oil on teh dipstick was black, which may suggest that no oil has been changed recently.
This will be my first car, so I would be grateful for any advice.
Thanks
