Clunky Gearchange?

[Lil Paul]

My mate's mum has bought a Clio Tom Tom (07) but feels that the gear change is a bit clunky (at the lever, not the actual gear change). It's only done 2000 miles.

Anyone else had a similar problem, or is it likely to clear up when the car is run in fully?

What do you mean by clunky?

 

[Lil Paul]

Not smooth - makes like a "clunk" noise when you change gear. Not very scientific I know, but hard to explain

 

[TomTom]

Not pressing the clutch down enough if anything.

 

[Lil Paul]

The gear change is smooth enough - it's just a clunky feel to the gear lever. I don't think it's a problem personally, but mate's mum not happy with it

engine mount.....mounts gone on mine and its clunking wen changing gear

Doubt its mounts if its only done 2k. To be fair I've driven a few and if you haven't got the clutch pedal fully down the gear changes (particularly 1-2, 2-3 3-2 and 2-1) at low speed it feels like your forcing the gearstick.

There must be a few people on here that have noticed it aswell as me, and I'm assuming its a 1.2/1.4 JH3 box with reverse bottom right?

i would have thought the car just needs time to loosen up, as you say its only got 2k on the clock

Yes it is. I think it probably just needs loosening up with some more miles on the clock.

Cheers for your help guys
