New car, new gearbox, very stiff when cold and hard to get into reverse until it's warmed for 30secs or so.

I would expect a heavy box & clutch 'cos after all it's an effing big engine but are they all like that?

Am I right in assuming it'll get better as the miles clock up?

cheers. :)

It will get better with use. Mine used to be difficult to get into reverse, but its fine now. Took about 5000 miles if i recall.

Would get much better with a ripshifter though
