Has anyone got any ideas on a problem I have with my 940 turbo 2L (160K miles, 5 speed manual, UK).

I think the clutch diaphragm is worn as its a swine to get into gear at traffic lights etc but doesnt slip when you put your foot down. It's been like it since I bought the car 2 years ago (20K miles). I can live with the problem but it needs so much force sometimes that my hand whacks into the dash often bringing tears to my eyes. I've moved the cigarette lighter to the right hand side which has improved things slightly.

Short of wearing boxing gloves or paying out for a new clutch (£300 UK), is the gearshift lever adjustable or is the lever now slightly bent possibly.

any thoughts welcome. . .
