All gears shifts easily when the engine (AMF) is off.
But it is very difficult to shift gears when engine is running. Especially 1st and reverse gear. Shifting gears requires a lot of of strength and feels that gears get stuck somewhere but go through with force and with loud heavy click sound.
It is better when engine gets warm but still shifts very hard.
Also when engine is in 1st gear and the clutch is pressed, the engine starts to vibrate. I thing it is a little vibration with other gears but it is barely noticeable.
Also it is very hard to get to neutral from revers or 1st gear.
I can do more tests if it helps to identify the problem.
Gearbox oil is changed a year ago.
Sliding shoe (1j0 711 550) and relay lever bushings (1J0 711 067 L) are changed but the old ones was not very worn.
