   Maybe not.
   
   Mine are the same and Im too lazy to sort it tbh. i did buy a griffths quickshift which makes it better. But check your linkages. There is a lot of movement in mine where they are worn and this makes it hard to get in gear as they dont move where they are supposed to.

   Get an oil change bab, would i be wrong in thinking they may also be a problem with the clutch?
   
   Gearbox oil is pretty straight forward to change. (If you have the right tool.)
   
   You need a square wrench or socket adaptor.

   you aint wrong in the slightest mate......
   
   check is it selecting gear ok with engine off and clutch and also may be bad but try engine off no clutch see if there is a difference
