   I’ve actually got a question for yourself
   
   I’m not sure when the oil was changed last on my Saxo (gearbox) and am dubious whether to change it or not. However since fitting my short shift I have noticed the gears are a little more... challenging, when cold in the mornings, is there something you can recommend?
   
   Thanks,
   
   Joe

   Hi Joe
   
   It probably just needs an oil change and the ones I'd look at are Fuchs Sintofluid, Amsoil MTF and Redline MTL
