Guys, have a close look at gear lever connection rod, that cylindrical 90 degree joint.
I just got my car from service, they found it worn out completely, no rubber, lots of play. Now I almost not observing our problem anymore, maybe just a bit.
There is now no correlation with engine bay temperature.

Thanks for letting us know mate - I'll be crawling around underneath our petrol hippo (which has the worst gear selection when hot) and let you know what I find !

Have a great xmas !

Mine seems to be better now that I have added a bit to the slave piston.

Gear linkage issues would apply irrespective of temp where mine was temp related.

I also recently replaced the gearbox oil - but the old stuff while well used and dark was still clear. Unfortunately when I went to get two litres of SynTrans someone put a bottle of SynTrax with the SynTrans and of course I did not notice until I went to put it in and it was too late to change it - so now my box has 1 litre of SynTrans and 1 litre of SynTrax in it - shouldn't make any difference - I hope.
