Difficulty Shifting In The Sportivo/cts

[NA-POWER]

Hi guys, i am having difficulty shifting quickly from 1st to 2nd gear when i rev the Sportivo(CTS) to 8000rpm. Apparently when LIFT kicks in, 1st gear becomes very tight, almost "locked" sometimes and i have to use quite a bit of force before being able to shift. Tried to do a quick 1-2 shift when revving it out but just can't do it. Other gears from 2nd onwards are fine though and i am guessing the car is still very new with 900kms only so the transmission might need some time to loosen up? Has anyone of you here had that problem? Or could it be a clutch problem?

I remember the car i test drove did not have this problem :(

I didn't notice that problem you describe. But my gears were very tight in the beginning and it was very easy to make a miss-shift in the beginning. Now it runs very smoothly and i have no problem what so ever. So give it some time and see if it will get better.

I had the same problem, It definitely gets easier with more KMs :)
