Try this,start the car with the e brake on in neutral,when the engine is running take your foot off the clutch and just blip the gas a couple of times.This will get the lube to the selectors etc...which does not happen when your foot is on the cluch...try it.

I will give this a try next time it happens.


Yep ..... this is a very good idea and it works very well too.

This morning it happened again (far between) so I tried the above and it worked fine. Remember foot off the clutch! I blipped the gas lightly to 1500RPM and that was it.
