Hi all,
Fairly new to the forum but did try to search about this topic here.
Has anyone else experienced sticky gear changes in a manual transmission? I have a Holden Barina 2010 TK MY11, literately built in April of this year.
It's driving me nuts!

What do you mean sticky? Hard to pull out of gear?
When changing gears say from first, to second, to third, it doesn't really allow for a quick gear change, whereas if you drive say an Opel Astra (Holden Astra) or a Hyundai Accent, the gear change is very quick and smooth...
i think that is the syncro/mechanical linkage issue.
i believe most (at least the two you named) have cable shifters, which dont transfer the "feel" of the syncros.
you can tighten this up (eliminate slop, faster shifts) with a short shift kit.
