Verso 2.2 D4D Gears 1St And 2Nd Difficult To Use When Cold

[Cono18]

My Verso is 2008 SR model, 43,00 miles, full TSH from new. In the last 2 weeks or so I am having trouble with using 1st and second gear when cold. Once warm it is OK. Went to my dealer and had the gearbox oil changed, no improvement. Has anyone experienced this problem? How was it resolved? Many thanks.

Visited Mr T this morning as instructed by their rep despite me saying the gears changed perfectly once warm. Car checked, could not find anything wrong. Taking it back afternoon of 13 May so they can check the following morning when first used. However, their CSM said it could possibly be the clutch wear. I don't know what the symptions of clutch wear is. Apparently they cannot tell until the gearbox is removed. Is this the case? Should anything be changed when this is done as well. I remember when I had a Carina E I had a repair done and was advised to have the water pump changed as well, because it that subsequently went the whole process would have to be repeated.
