after the williams engine being in for 3 months and less than 2000 miles the 16v gearbox has started being a bit stiff going into 1st and second, if im stationary and i put it into gear once and take it out its fine, but when i go to pull away fairly often its a bit stiff to slot in, what sort of problem is it likley to be? its a new clutch but i have been experiencing the clutch pedal sticking everynow and again and it sort of craks off and then its free again, maybe possibly linked with me removing the heat shields from the back of the engine bay, also i replaced the bottom ball joints the other week and when they were apart the strut and the drive shaft was swinging about, i tried not to but it inevitible to an extent,
any ideas what it might be?
