Hi Steve H,
I'm happy for your "new" Alfa. I've got the same car,
1988's Alfa 75 2.0 T.S. These are true cars and they
require the best maintenance to really enjoy them.
I ask you a question. I don't have still understood if
the gearbox of this car could work really well. After
the jobs that do you have made, could you tell me if
the manoeuvrability of the gear lever is now
acceptable?
I have only need to know that one day my gearbox will
work to the best too.
Thanks,
Paolo Z.
