I recall reading that the volvo (ford sourced) manual gearboxes are meant to be very slick shifting.

At first, I put it down to the newness of the car, but now with 2k miles, no sign of improvement.

Anyone come across similar issues, is it a problem I should be seeing the dealer with?

Many thanks
I had experienced a similar issue with my new S40, and it was initially ascribed it to my habbits of changing gears for 14 years to my other car (400 Volvo). Finally, the new one needed an adjustment as houghtonc79 says. Now is very sweet. Just ask the dealer to have a look...
