147 Gear Stick Problem
Hi all
I'm having a problem with my 2002 147 1.6TS. The gear stick seems very stiff. When in neutral, I really have to force it to move, its very difficult getting it in gear, especially swithing down to 3rd, and it generally is not feeling right at all. Anybody else experienced this problem? And is it expensive to put right? Car is 2 months outside warranty! Thanks in advance Ian |

The linkage was completely shafted, real fumbling trying to find the gate. Maybe it's a common problem... Rgds Stuart |

They greased the linkage and freed off a bush in the selector housing and it now works again like a dream, a bit of labour was all it cost me really. Only problem I have now is third gear is sometimes a bit difficult to select but apparently new gearbox guides might help this. -- Posted using the http://www.autoforumz.com interface, at author's request Articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards Topic URL: http://www.autoforumz.com/Alfa-Romeo...ict131224.html Visit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).
