Hi,
I've just bought a second hand Almera E '02 plate, which is having issues changing gear when the engine warms up. A quick Google search suggests a bubble in the clutch fluid- not a problem, it's had a new clutch fitted so this would make sense, I'll get it fixed under warranty.
However, I've noticed when you change gear, the gearstick does not 'pop' into the middle- for example, when you pull down from 1st or 5th or up from 2nd on every modern car I've drive, if you let go of the gear stick it pops into the middle between 3rd and 4th, making it easier to change gear. This Almera does not do this.
Is this a fault or were the cars built this way?
Thanks,
Dan
