Gearbox problem with Micra
I have just bought a Nissan Micra K11 S reg & it goes into all gears when driven from cold but as the car warms up I have trouble getting it into 5th gear & sometimes 3rd gear. It is always fine when the car is staionary with the engine off. Please can you advise what the problem is likely to be & if it is expensive to fix.
