Hi All , Looking for some help / advice , My brother has got a 2004 Ford Focus 1.6 with 119k Miles on , He bought the car a few months ago from small local car dealer , He has a minor issue with 1st & 2nd gear basically its a intermittent fault e.g if you have the car in 1st gear to pull of at a junction it becomes stiff instantly with it difficult to get into 2nd gear without forcing it the same then happens from 2nd to 3rd gear

It only seems to be affecting the 1st and 2nd gear and not the rest of gears and mostly happens when car is warm but only happens roughly twice every ten times and not there permanent

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Gareth

change the box oil, its probs never been done, secondly whats the clutch pedal like? if its quite high it may indicate a worn clutch

id bet its the box though, normally earlier gears are affected more because they take far more abuse than the later gears
