and CHECK YOUR BLOODY TRANSMISSION FLUID...
it should be pink, if its not, then dont even think about driving it

mine used to take a while to get in reverse while cold, and wouldnt change gears properly till warm, and one day i lost 4th gear, then 3rd the next day, then 2nd a day later, and 1st on the way to my mates workshop

prettymuch was on its way out after 283000k's

My old VR Berlina had 179000 k's when I bought it and it was slow to engage first after reversing from my garage.

I changed the trans oil and filter every 20,000 k's, didn't abuse it, though it was used to tow occasionally, and when I sold the car at 335,000 k's, it was still running ok. The slow selection remained but never deteriorated in the four years I had the car.

i forgot to mention that me, and the pensioner owner before me abused it a fair bit, a few stationary rotating wheels here and there :whistling, also i recently found out he only changed the trans fluid 3 times durring the cars life...:bang:

point being calaber is right, look after it, dont fang it too much and it;ll last a long time
