k11 2002 Gearbox problem getting into 3rd

Just bought a K11 202 1.0 celebration.
the gear stick has problems going into 3rd,
while on the flat an idle this does not seem to be a problem ,
seems more pronounced on hills?

any advice please?

Does the gearstick have a nice strong spring return to the centre, when you push the stick from second into neutral?

If the gearstick return spring is broken, the stick will flap about from side to side and make positive gear changes more difficult.

The springback seems to be fine
And the gearstick is not flappy at a
More od an issue of a difficulty pushing into third
Seems to stick and need to be forced in .

Steve, the best investment you'll ever make for your Micra is a Haynes manual.
It's got a section in it detailing how to check and adjust your clutch.
Other info in it is bound to become useful as you put the miles on.

You might find it in Halfords, or you could always scout eBay for a cheaper one.

Doesn't have to be new ;)

I have same issue getting into 3rd gear too. No other problem with gears, just needs a bit more force to engage 3rd. Ill get iy looked at when its in for the mot in a week or 2.
