my son has an almera 2001 1.5 petrol with manual gearbox/hydraulic clutch.
couple of weeks ago when car was moving at about 10mph and engaging 1st gear there was a noise as if the gbox teeth were "just" grinding together. All fine when stopped & engaging 1st, all other gears ok.
after doin a bit of googling I changed the gbox oil (used Halfords Gear Oil EP 75W/80 GL-4)
made no difference.
a week after changing oil, gear selection is now very difficult in all gears, both with engine off and when running.
also when in neutral with engine running there is a whirring/wineing noise that dissappears when dipping the clutch.
I have also bled the clutch & it made no difference
anyone got any ideas what it could be????
thanks in advance
Paul :(
