Hello all, the gear lever on my Copen was a little stiff. I am not good at all with things mechanical. Yesterday I bought some ramps and extenders, to make the slope not so steep. I put the car on them without scraping the front overhang, and used white spray grease, as described in a thread on here, to grease the linkage under the car. Worked great. And felt a bit satisfied with myself for actually doing something on the car myself.
