Obviously I had to admit liability and after my car was repaired I took it to the KIA dealer to check it Choose a good gearbox oil that has a lower cold viscosity than stock . The problem became less noticable after some time (after gearbox oil change). It’s not gone,but switching from 1st to second is a lot better now.
