I'm thinking its more of a lubrication issue as its not the gearbox because it only happens very occasionally. Apart from under the center console, where else should I lubricate? Is there a specifc service schedule for it?Cheers,

Not really difficulty more a distict resistance as if something is in the way and then it slots in fine.

Re: Difficulty engaging second on times
is this happening when you are accelerating or deaccelerating? if it is during the deaccelerating phase it might be because the car is not fitted with a syncromesh gearbox (a more modern thing on cars).
not sure if this helps, but i have the same problem on my two!
