Question Xc60 2016 my d4 fwd manual gearbox selection stiff clunky?

Hi
Just a question to other XC60 owners if they have had any trouble with their gear selection.
My gear selection since new,has always been stiff and notchy,up and down the box only just done 10000 miles
I have been driving 38 years,Motorbikes,Cars and trucks ,abnormal loads etc,both military and civvy,so not a novice.

it feels like when the clutch plates are still dragging or the syncros are at default, have even resorted to double declutching to ensure in gear selection

Every service i told VOLVO garage about problems

I will not touch the car myself as they may say it's something I have done and why should I its a new motor!


PS just wondering if it's an isolated problem or are there more owners with the same?

Regards Rob

Must admit I wouldn't say mine was the smoothest box iv ever used, never had a problem with it but just quite notchy compared to other manufactures iv owned..certainly not silky smooth, be an auto next time tho !
