Search Results for ‘gear’

For a couple of weeks now, I've noticed that in the morning it has trouble switching gear. The clutch doesn't seem to engage fully, like half the press feels light. It seems to get gradually better as I drive the car, but the initial gear change is really heavy to the point that I had to force...

Hello, new here and new owner of a 2011 giulietta 2.0jtdm Trying to tidy up a few bits and parts Found a loose bushing on the gear selector but cannot find a replacement online,any help on what to search for??

Hi everyone. I've bought my tbi a couple of months ago (not my first 159) and went straight to the shop, to get the gearbox bearings replaced (they were already noisy in 5th and 6th) and after that was done, I started having issues shifting into 1st gear. I don't have to use force or anything...

Hi, So I ordered a new gear lever to fix the wobbly gear lever problem I have . I started stripping the protective covers underneath so I could get to the retaining bolt on the gear leaver. I have removed the exhaust and disconnect the handbrake, removed all the bolts holding the big cover on...

Hi all, I'm sorry for starting a new thread but I do need your opinion or at least another from an Alfa GT owner. I did change my gearbox oil roughly 6k km ago with Fuchs 75W90 and now when the weather is cold (below 5*) I have hard shifts in 1st and 2nd gear. After around 3kms the gears are...

Hi all, I'm trying to replace the bushes in the gear selector on the other half's 147 as reverse and third are very stiff occasionally, and the gear stick is sloppy. I'm following the Alfa Workshop guide here: https://www.alfaworkshop.co.uk/Alfa_147_GT_156_Gear_selector_plate_removal.shtml But...

Hi All, I recently bought a guilietta QV 2014/15 with 48000kms. I may be be being really picky/OCD but I’ve noticed overall the gearbox is really smooth through the gears and downshifting etc. however when taking off from the lights (natural mode) shifting from 1st to 2nd gear there is a tidy...

First time post but long time user. Impressed with the level of peoples knowledge. Any way, I have now completed my steering wheel and gear knob swap and now have available for sale the limited edition? wood steering wheel and matching gear knob. I dont have enough posts to post in the...

11 plate 140 diesel. Very low mileage. I'm finding that when I start to accelerate, mainly 2nd Gear, for the first few seconds it's like "chug.. chug.. chug.." stuttering,then it will bite and we're off. Not all the time.. and if I gently accelerate its fine, but if I normally accelerate, or...

Hi all. I'm trying to replace the gear linkage boot that covers some bits that sit on top of the gearbox (6 speed). I've undone everything as you can see, and even removed the whole insert piece but I'm unsure if it's very easy to take apart the whole mechanism. I see there is a cir-clip and a...

I parked my car, and when I started it and engaged reverse, it backed up and all of a sudden I lost all feedback from the gear shifter. Its completely loose and won't engage any gears.. I need some input if anyone experienced this before.. had to arrange towing.. Sent from my SM-G955F using...

Hi guys, I'm having a beautiful Alfa Romeo GT Rosso, with a terrible gear knob... srsly, it looks like someone chew it and spit it oout... I was looking into options to get it replaced, but couldn't find anything that would fit it, other than the original (silver) knob which I don't want to...

Hi I need to remove my gear stick gaiter to lubricate an annoying squeak down below...a YouTube video shows that it should just come out with a strong pull upwards. Is this correct? Thanks in advance

As the thread title, really. Could someone please suggest a very good, high spec gearbox oil for my Brera 3.2 Prodrive Aultodelta Compressore. As it has had a Quaife fitted, along with the stock equipment, I wanted to check that I am putting not only the correct spec oil in - but a good, high...

Hello, I'm in the process of attempting to recover my leather 6 Speed gearknob for my car. Just wondering if anyone is interested as I can share the attempt with the rest of the community. Even if there is no interest I will try to update this anyway... And before anyone asks. I have done a...

Since having my car the gear stick has always been biased to the left. The gear shaft plastic bush was replaced which stopped it from being floppy and for good measure, I had new gear selector cables and new gear selector plate fitted. This made the gear lever nice and solid with a positive...

Just into my first week of Alfa ownership (whoop) and starting to work through the little issues om my 2011 1.4 MA. First thing is that the plastic metal effect coating on the gear knob is starting to peel off in places, which isn't a nice feel when shifting. I replaced the top cap fine, but I...

My 147 selespeed is stuck in gear and can’t start I have connected a computer to try get it out but that did not work. Does anyone have any suggestions please help

Hi all, Sorry, a complete newbie to both the car and an automatic. This is likely due to my lack of knowledge on how an auto box works. If you put your foot down even remotely I thought by releasing the pedal the car would change up a gear? What seems to be happening is I put my foot down...
