A common fault with mk6 Fiesta St is that over time or during periods were the car is not used gear selection becomes stiff and vague this video is a quick h This only happens occasionally and not everytime I try to select them. Also notice that when the cars cold it seems to change gear as it should but omec it's warmed up it becomes very stiff to select all gears. Clutch seems as it should be for a car with 118k on so I think it maybe a selector issue but unsure. Any helps appreciated.
