Rs 200 gearbox question

[Chappersmatt]

Hi
I own a RS 200 2010 full fat clio with 20k on the clock.
I've read about all the issues with the gearboxes so I'm beginning to panic.
My gear changes are slightly cranky/stiff. All go into gear fine but they don't feel as slick as they used to.
its due a second service in 2,000 miles.
is this a sign of the box failing? If so can I rescue it by getting it in early so to speak?
or because the service is due soon it may be just a gearbox fluid change that is needed?

appreciate any advice
many thanks

Could be worth trying some new oil but I wouldn't have thought they would do that as part or a service unless you ask them to.

But after only 20k the box oil shouldnt need touching

Won't hurt to have the box oil changed IMO.

They aren't the most user friendly from what I've read and mine from cold is quite a fight.

Probably worth changing your oil.
