Is it harder to reverse with a stiff first gear?
However they shouldn’t make a difference when the car is stationary. There again, you probably never select the other gears while the car is stationary. Additional by @Paulster2 – If the friction disk is spinning right after clutch release, it might make it harder to get it 1st/Reverse.
Can a gearbox oil change cure stiff gears?
Just been reading on a different forum that an gearbox oil change can sometime cure stiff gear changes or problems going in to 1st and reverse, they say Vauxhall have now changed there view of the amount of oil to go in 2.4litres in the F40 gearbox. I will top op more because I put 2 lt.
Is it possible to select gears while the car is stationary?
A lack of these makes it difficult to select the gears while the car is moving. However they shouldn’t make a difference when the car is stationary. There again, you probably never select the other gears while the car is stationary. – HandyHowie Jan 29 ’16 at 10:52
Why are gears stiffer in the cold weather?
As it seems fine when the engine has warmed up. Gears are always bit stiffer in cold weather & slower to engage but they shouldn’t be impossible to select . Did you suffer this before the work was done ?
Is there a way to stiffen the gears?
No no only when realised at the very end knock. Put some decent 75w-90 fully synthetic gearbox oil in when you change it, and the clutch pedal not returning is usually the spring popped off one side at the top of the pedal, as thet is what pulls the pedal back up.

When do you change gears in a car?
After the engine has warmed up I experience no issues with changing gears at all and only seems to happen when the engine is cold eg in mornings or after work. I had a new Dual mass flywheel and new clutch fitted only last month so surely it can’t be the clutch or flywheel?
