Seems it's just the way the ol' gearbox is
It is a good 'box on the whole, just a few lil gremlins. Perhaps a change of oil may well fix or lessen the severity of the crunchy shifts.
Car reviewers are allegedly paid to give a better than usual review of vehicles.

I sometimes find it hard to shift from 2nd to 3rd but mostly the fwd gears are OK. 1st to 2nd sometimes is jerky but that may be my driving style.
As for reverse I find I usually have to shift from 1st to neutral, then clutch/de-clutch, then shift to reverse, but I thought that was normal as the reverse is not synchronised.

Everyone is saying reverse, which makes me feel better, as I have the same issue. I tend to try and roll a bit, then put it in reverse and it works.
Second gear is interesting for me.. If I'm going real slow, it works fine but is a little "clunky", if I'm driving "aggressively" then second is fine, goes into gear no problem, but somewhere between those two (changing gear at 4,300 - 5,500 rpm) then it grinds occasionally :-/

Another thing I have found with the m/t is first gear seems excessively jerky - not when changing gear, but it seems to react excessively with changes in acceleration. Its not so surprising when you consider its first gear after all, but I can't say I have noticed anyone else doing it when I have been a passenger.
It might well be me though, I have only been driving for a few years and only ever in this car...

Just reading through everybodys problems.Here is a question for you all.Do you have floormats? These can sometimes stop the clutch pedal going all the way down thus causing the clutch not to disengage 100%.Have a look
