So it is more of an gear lever problem. Did not have this last autumn, during winter gearbox was opened, but nothing changed inside it (except oil of course). Conditions have been rather cold, something like +2 celsius today. 1st to 2nd ok but then the pedal sticks up and I have to press it down manually to get it 3rd and same thing with 4th and 5th. Is this known problem? Caused by cold or what? I did took that pedal off and put some WD40 on and round the axel - I would have put it back little lower but the exhaust is on its way.
Inside my garage (+10 celcius) and after WD40 it seemed to function better, but I did not have time to take her to another spin around.
If repairing this means ripping the whole thing apart again I will just do the shifting hard way this summer. No time or motivation to fix anything larger now.
