I would say the oil is just old and lost it's mojo.
It should be easy enough to change
There are 2 plugs on the gearbox
One at the bottom do drain and one usually half way up the box

Arthur lad, whatever browser/device you are using to access the internet has ADHD - it posted the same post about 10 times for you yesterday, but usually does two.

rossit, it's worth having it looked at. Some boxes are a pain in the cold but maybe a gearbox oil change will fix it, or it may be a clutch thing.
Try double clutching in the mean time - usually gets mine to behave for the first few miles.
