Gearbox stiff going into 1st and shuddering when moving off

[Dcena1998]

Hi everyone I have a Clio Extreme 1.2 16v 2009 done around 86k miles. When starting still the gearbox is fairly easy to push into 1st but if I’m even going over a few mph it is very stiff and wants to go into 3rd.

Secondly, I’ve noticed when I have less than half a tank of petrol the car can shudder when moving off. Any suggestions for my problems? Any help is appreciated

Sounds like it could be gearbox/engine mount related. Have a look at them and the dog bone?

Thanks for your reply mate really appreciate it. Also I know it’s a small engine at 1.2 but even when I’m reving to move at around 1500RPM the engine is screaming. Is this normal?

What do you mean by screaming?
