My gearbox has always been a silky smooth changer, when cold or at running temp,, just latley, when the engine is nice and warm after about 20 mins,i can feel quite a difference, its getting difficult to change up or down, i have to use a bit of force nowadays to go up and down the box,,ive never changed the oil in the box,wish i had now, (ive had the van 2 yrs) so the last owners may have done it, theres been 15 of em
Is it a sign of impending gearbox doom or could it be a clutch related problem? any info gratefully received

Had the same problem with our van early 2008. Changed the gearbox oil (didn't know when it'd last been done) and it got a lot better.
