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.

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.

Ok this is what you do go to a macanic or the place you bought the car(only if you still have warrenty) and check it out or the second option you have is when you drive it wait a couple of minutes or untill the engine is warm and then try it in first gear then if it still has the problem try it in 2nd gear. But I highly recommand going to someone to check out your car then explain the situation to the person helping you. Best of luck to you AJG

Can you check the gear-box oil level?
