   2nd gear valeo gearboxes for citroen and peugeot cars have always been stiff, it's not new news tbh, the other bother being the stick wobble becasue the pin wears out quickly.
   
   They're often stiff at winter time, though it gets better when the engine and transmission are warm, changing the oil won't hurt though-might help a little.
