The clutch is working fine when the car is still. However when is moving, the gear is not smoothly shift (specially 2nd). The gear does not sound but I need to take time to shift the gear. The problem is worst during the first 10 minutes of driving or when the temperature is cold outside (?).

Hi there,

The first thing i would do is have the gear box oil changed, check with the dealer and see if they have had this problem and what oil they recommend, often a synthetic gear oil will ease hard shifting in cold weather problems, if its ok when the car is warm, look at this first.
