Sanity check on trouble changing gear..

T16 · 12th February 2018, 21:53

So, I was doing about 85mph for 1.5hrs approx.

Parked up in Glasgow, or tried to, and noticed that the car was EXTREMELY troublesome getting into ANY gear with the engine running. Heard big clunks from the box as I was struggling with putting it in gear.

The car was nice and toasty from its run.

Now, fast-forward to today and yesterday, when the car is cold it feels 100% normal again.

Any ideas what can cause this aside from the obvious? Low box oil meaning the box running too warm?

Im assuming its the clutch seal on its way out, and that when its warm, it makes the issue worse somehow, air past the seal or who knows what.

Sound familiar with a change in temperature of the box?
