There are several existing threads covering the stiffness in the gearbox. A simple search will get you to them.

Clarification needed

Mike,

I think the comments left by the other guys feel that you mean hard to shift. I think that you need to describe your problem a little more clearly. How is it after it's warmed up (>30minutes)?

Hi Mike - are you using any engine revs to move the car and how many? It shouldn't feel 'crunchy' but a cold and brand new car will be a wee bit clunky for a while.

Have you checked that fluid levels are OK?
