After changing oil, filters, spark plugs, chain and sprokets (again!) on the weekend, I have noticed it is near enough impossible to change gears without the gear box clunking into gear.
It is fixed by not using the clutch going up gears, but this isnt the easiest thing to do when filtering through London traffic as the revs arent high enough for it to change smoothly.

What do you think the cause of this problem is? At first I thought the clutch might be on the way out, but then it has only got 23,000 on the clock so it should still be ok... shouldnt it?

Knowing my luck it is probably on its last legs and will need replacing.
