Hello

I have a '04 Golf and noticed when changing gears the motion is
feeling a bit less than smooth.

My next step should be?

Many thanks

Well clutch plate drag is the most likely cause that'll be worth fixing.

Mechanically unskilled often haven't a clue when a clutch is dragging -
especially with many cars having synchro on reverse these days.
So it is a very valid diagnosis.

Don't bother next time then. You got a sensible answer: it's the most
likely problem. The next most likely is a change linkage that needs
adjusting.
