I have an 07 reg cmax that over the past 6 months the gears have gradually got notchy and stiff when changing gear, i first thought it was the clutch dragging but it is also stiff with the engine off and foot off the clutch pedal, because of this i am starting to think its the linkage between the gearstick and box, on the cmax it uses cables, it does seem to free up a bit after driving a while but is still notchy. Could it still be the clutch? its not slipping but has done 105k so getting on a bit.
