    Trans problems (shock horror!)

    Trans problems (shock horror!)

    Morning guys hope you're all well :) I believe this is a common issue on the 197, I've use the search bar but no definitive answers so thought I'd better ask Okay, ever since I bought the car the gearbox has always been alittle stiff, but it has just got progressively worse! Basically, with...
