Hi all.

I have done 20k in my Mito 135MA now and my warranty has just ended. In the last week it's become a right chore to get the car into first gear. Anyone else heard of this or have had it? I've not really had any issues with the gearbox before other than it not getting in reverse properly.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Used to have a similar issue with my MQV. 1st and reverse were at times challenging. ?
Eventually got to live with it... Would have to run it into another gear and then to first if it stuck... Often only happened when it was cold.

Hi, I've had the same problem on my 2012 1.6 diesel which I raised here recently:

As said by LaMito, slipping into 2nd then into 1st bypasses the problem. No idea why but a useful tip when it happens
