The ch 2.4 is my first manual car as a daily driver, and I was just wondering if it's fairly normal for the gearbox to be a bit notchy and resistant, there's usually no trouble getting into each gear, but I find myself becoming fairly firm with it when shifting, if the stereo's off (and bearing in mind, no exhaust/intake noise) you can hear out loud the movement of the gear stick into each gear with an audible bearing movement sound.
I figured this was fairly normal behavior, but I recently rented a hyundai iload (decent sized van) and found the manual in that to have really smooth, fairly well defined shifts, which i figured wouldn't be the case for a larger vehicle.
It's not horrible, but I'm curious as to whether this is normal?
