hi guys picked up jimny tonight and the gear change is really stiff and hard to get into gear is this a common problem and is there a fix please

thanks in advance

If it selects gears nicely when it's not running, it may be the clutch dragging.

thanks for that it has had a new clutch fitted

When you say stiff, have you tried going from 1st, N, and then 2nd?

Mine does this, I think it's a Jimny trait!

It will be the linkage from the lever to the gearbox. Probably seized and in need of a service.

I would change the gearbox oil while you are at it.

And make sure the clutch cable is correctly adjusted.

It's not a trait......you just need to fix the issue
