    Gearbox gremlins

    Hello all
    So after a year and a half of trouble free driving the gremlins are starting to rear there heads.
    The gear box is starting to play up abit when getting going from cold,
    I noticed a while back that when approaching a roundabout or junction
    The box would not select 1st, If I popped it to N then back into 1st it would go back in but once up to temp it seems to go away.
    Also it box would some times make a big clunk from 3-2nd bigger than normal
    Anyway it would almost feel like it was a little stuck.
    The other day I went to drive out my car park and and reversed then went to celect 1st and it would show 1 on the dash but just rev !
    I moved the celect or about and it wouldn't go into anything it would just rev.
    I turned it off opened and shut the bonnet a few times and left it for a bit and it seemed to sort it out.
    I have also noticed that when cold dropping down the gears all are fine but from
    3-2nd it will go 6,5,4,3 then jump to 5 instead of 2nd !
    This seems to go once up to heat though.
    I understand this will be more than a job for the home mechanic and its in for a servics soon so will get the G-dog to have a look but was just wondering if anyone else has had similar and also will it cause further damage if I drive it ?
    Like I say it's all good once up to heat.
    Cheers

    If it has started getting the wrong gear I wouldn't drive it hard, 5th to second instead of 5th to 4th would be expensive.

    Maybe worth looking at the indent spring?
