Some observations:
- the gear throw is very short but some gears are notchy -2nd to 3rd/4th-3rd..not always but i guess will smoothen out(maybe my driving style).

Engine and drive train:- The gearbox has loosened up quite a bit and now feels like a well oiled rifle bolt. No issues with engaging reverse gear as some of the other swift users have experience.
hi tor,
good report.
yesterday, i drove my friend's dezire for @300km on all types of road. its 4 month old car with just 6000km on odo.
i felt gear shift is really notchy.
as you mentioned in 6 month report, gearbox has loosened. i wonder after same running of 6000km on my friend's car, it is still very notchy.
have you done anything extra to loosen the gears?
