FN2 Type R gear selection issue

[StuE39]

Evening all,

Picked up a FN2 recently. I am planning to do clutch and timing chain in the future as a precaution.

I have however noticed something interesting on the new car. When cold the clutch seems to have some weight and all gears are easy to select.

After a couple of hours driving, the gear selection becomes notchy and harder to change smoothly. Also, the clutch feels lighter.

Reverse also has an added issue, that once warm, I can select reverse, but it can be hard to get out of and back to neutral. This again only appears to be the case after an hour or so.

Can any give me any idea on where to start looking?

Thanks for any advice.

Thank-you for your reply. Yes, it does engage close to the floor. I am surprised how low the biting point is.

Thanks for the link - I'll take a look and adjust. Will probably change the clutch fluid too.
