Gearbox not smooth
Discussion
I also have a slight issue with it being difficult to get it OUT of gear, although it always goes INTO gears perfectly easily. It's particularly reluctant to let go of third gear sometimes.
I've discovered that the problem goes away if you give a slight push on the gear stick INTO the gear it's already in before moving it into the gear you want to change to. It doesn't have to be a big push; just a slight pressure will do - and it only takes a split second. It's become "muscle memory" for me now.

I had this problem too. After I changed the gearbox oil it got a bit better. Then I lubricated the joints in the gearbox remote control and it made a massive difference! I don't really understand why actually - but it's a dead easy job. Undo four screws and lift off the centre console and there they are.
Worth checking the clutch fluid too of course.
