Does the Daewoo Matiz 796cc have problems with gear changing,particularly when the engine is cold?

It is a 3 year old Matiz and the gears grate and do not change smoothly until the engine is warm. It is a particular problem when moving from 1 to 2, 2 to 3 and 4 to 3. Is this a problem with the Matiz or this particular car?|||It is. Daewoo recalled a load of Matiz to have the gearbox reworked. The problem is due to a couple of washers, however the gearbox needs stripping. Daewoo knew of this problem a long time ago, but refused to do anything about it. I knew of cases where the rework had been done once, gone wrong again and Daewoo would not cover the cost of the work.|||High the oil in the gearbox of the Matiz needs to be changed that why when it gets hot the oil heats and expsands and then the parts get when you oil is to old change very often .. i have a matiz and i was told to strip it down but alls it needed was the oil change in the gear box

|||Unlike all other cars (which use a mechanical gear linkage) the gear lever on a Matiz is connected to the gearbox by a pair of cables. This is why the gears are always 'notchy' on all Matiz's.





These cables are prone to stretching and eventually they will break.





You really need to get it to a Daewoo (Chevrolet) dealer, as no-one else will have the parts or know-how to undertake such an unusual repair.|||Can you check the gear-box oil level?
