Gearbox seems smoother all of the sudden..
Discussion
07 Focus 1.8 petrol
Ever since i bought the car 1 and a half years ago its had a relatively notchy change unless you are changing super fast.
Recently however it seems to have sorted its self and flicks between ratios much less seemly.
Have i broken it? should i be worried?
Personally its much better and rewarding as is. Lets hope it doesnt change back (unless its a fault, in which case i hope it changes back
)
Cheers

No, i havnt had the clutch changed
And i havnt checked the oil in a few weeks. Would a low oil level lead to a smoother change? Its never burnt oil since i bought it. But i will check when im dressed up.
Engine oil level won't affect the gearbox shift, but gearbox oil level might!And i havnt checked the oil in a few weeks. Would a low oil level lead to a smoother change? Its never burnt oil since i bought it. But i will check when im dressed up.
IME, when something seems to suddenly get much better its a clue that it's about to fail catastrophically.

Will ask mechanic friend later to check gearbox oil (i have the mechanical know-how of a footballer's wife)
cheers

Are you sure it's not just that with the weather getting warmer the gearbox oil is warmer first thing in the morning giving smoother changes?
It used to be non-smooth throughout the drive. Now its smooth throughout the drive.It was never uncomfortably unsmooth, just could be a bit awkward (think im trying to convince myself its not about to go pop

Are you sure it's your car? My Dad got in and started the wrong car once - Ford keys are notorious for allowing this.
