Grand, just wish my fill plug was nylon like yours, both are alu and a ######. I cant get any of them to budge Grrrr!

Shame I dont have access to a welder. Bloody thing wont budge and am not a skinny wee guy lol. I might try some wd40 too. Think my gearbox is dry as the car drives fine and gears go in okay but I have this sound that gets louder as the speed increases for the lt hand side of the engine...

Luckily I got the sence noto drain it first lol. Let me know how you get on mate, hope you have better luck than me!

Found out its a 10mm. However I cant get the bloody plug to budge! Is there any other way of checking the gearbox oil on my year of micra?

Okay, Looks like I will be doing this at the weekend, fairly easy job to do?

Anyone think it might be worn gear linkages? Is this a comomn problem in the K11 and is it easily sorted? Fejao.

Yes mine is hexagonal, def an allen key now that it was mentioned just not sure on the size. My micra is a 2002 tempest, reg 12/2002 so one of the last.

Anyone know the size of this big allen key?

No the gears go in fine, the clutch works fine its just when your pushing the gearstick over there is resistance before you push it up to put it into gear.

Hey All, Anyone experienced a mechanical resistance when pushing your gearstick to the left to go into first or second and resistance when pushing right to go into fifth gear and reverse? I have no problem getting into the gears there just seems to be resistance when pushing the gearstick...
