Manual sticky.

[Taz_SSV]

Had the SSV ute series 1 for a few weeks. I didn't really notice on the test drive (too busy grinning) but it seems to be the same since the first day I got it. Every gear change feels sticky. It feels like I gotta pull it out of gear, kinda wait with pressure on the stick and the it goes into next gear. Is this normal my last manual 9 years ago (skyline) would just glide effortlessly into each gear. I feel like I gotta drag this thing into gears. So I'll try better to explain. 1st to 2nd, 3500rpm clutch in put pressure on the knob, 1 second later pulls into neutral 2800rpm slides straight and easy thru neutral and then pressure applied, 1 or 2 seconds and it drops into second rpm now like 1000rpm and need to release clutch and throttle up. But it's like firm pressure (outta first), lose stick, firm pressure (into second). This happens not matter what gear I'm in, up and down shift.

I wouldnt say issues. I'm asking a lot of questions to ensure everything is normal as this is my first V8 Holden. I paid $9500 for it which is cheap so I'm expected something to be wrong but as ur fully aware on all accounts everything has been normal. Actually the only thing I've asked is this and the clutch everything else has been advice or opinions.

How do I post pics?
