Hi all,

So I got a new (well 2004) zs 180 the other day and it terns out there is a small issue with it. After using the clutch in stop start traffic changing gear gets harder and harder until I end up either stuck in or out of gear.

This can happen after just a mile or so of heavy traffic where 1st gear and reverse can get jammed completely.

I have just had the master and slave replace so any suggestions would be helpful.

yes it was the crappy OE slave. I didn't know this at the time. I have also looked at the metal mount and there is some movement when using the clutch but no noticeable deference when hot and cold?
