Had my 2011 Rocco for a couple of months now and find the gear change to be rather notchy, a bit mechanical, if you know what I mean. Is this normal, cars done just under 40k.

Thanks for any comments

Re-aligning is easy enough to do yourself.

I swapped mine to an Audi S3 short shift .. then set the cables up - its lovely and smooth.

It's not when you compare side by side. :)

Although it is only a minor change... but then that is all I wanted after coming from a proper short shifter on my old car.
