Hard to start and smoke..is it giving lots of smoke when it first start or cold start? I would check glow plugs first and glow plugs plastic nuts. I had same problem with starting and smoke just test or change them clean the glow plugs hole.change the fuel and air filter and try after then.slow movement maybe injectors just use injector cleaner.why did you top up the gearbox oil. Is it leaking? Dex3 is ok but i would rather drain all and put fresh one.tnx
