i have a 2005 coupe manual transmission with some 65.000 miles. it was running smooth when shifting, until recently. now it became sort of little hard. takes more effort. feels as dragging. otherwise shifts gear well.
a year ago replaced hoses with stainless steel covering and did the bleeding and all went fine. also changed transmission oil to specs.
checking the linkage learned that there is play in part #13 but dont know if it is as expected. could this be the reason? is this part available and how much and how easy to replace?
am posting drawing to show which it is. (the arrow has nothing to do with it. it just was at the drawing that i found).
i hope some1 can provide info on how to change it, or if there is any advice on the subject. or links.
i have searched but havent found anything about this.
thanks.
an update: eventually i learned that it was the wrong oil that created the problem. see details at the last post.
