gearshift

I have problems with a rattling/vibrating gearshift lever on my Alfasud 1.5 TI QV from 1982. I have changed the teflon bushing at the bottom of the lever but it did not help. Any suggestions? Thanks

In my TB 170 QV the gearshift to first or second gear (especially second) is a bit stiff and hard. It is worst when the gearbox is cold. No problem with any of the other gears And periodic, when shifting to second gear, it feels like the gearbox doesn't get fully into gear and jumps back to...

Knob from the photos is for 166 gtv. Can I fit this on GT 1.9 jtd (2004 year)?

Just hoping for a heads up on what I may have to expect if I am to take the GT to the garage during the week. Today for the first time, I began to experience gear selection issues when driving. It was reluctant to engage properly on the move, either going up or down the gears. The clutch is...

Tried searching on the forum but couldn't find what I wanted (maybe searching the wrong way). Can anyone help with what I have to look out for [screws & plastic clips] when removing the Giulietta glovebox & central side panels where the DNA selector / cigarette lighter is located. I'm trying to...

While the engine is still cold I can engage and disengage 5th gear as smooth as on any car. After the engine has warmed up properly, about 15-20 minutes later things change drammatically. Engaging 5th gear feels like stirring into a box full of chunks of metal. Disengaging means I literally have...

Dear Members I have mixed Gear oil and Transmission oil. How do I flush it out? Now it constantly reports selespeed faulty and shoot out gears to neutral. I drive a 2004 147 Selespeed. I would appreciate your help.

The gaiter of my gearshift and handbrake are ok but slightly 'dry' and 'sticky' at touch...I don't know the material they're made of: do you have any idea what's the best way to clean/condition them? I suppose they're not leather, so maybe the same material used to clean/condition the surfaces...

Hi folks, I posted this at the bototm of another thread but I think it might get lost and I am hoping to get some opinions in a hurry as am off to see a car later today with this issue and want to be informed when talking to the owner. It's a lovely 166 TS with the 6-spd manual box but the...

I had the console off today playing with wiring and I noticed some play in the gear lever housing; http://www.alfaworkshop.co.uk/images/60655156-2159-1-800.jpg Two of the three bolts that join the upper half to the larger base are spinning - it feels like the nuts remain on but I can't even...

Is there anyone that have any info. regarding how to adjust the gearshift systen. My feels very loose and not distingt.

Alright all, I have been going through all the little jobs on my 147 that have needed sorting out. I have replaced the door handle on the passenger side (what a job and the door innards have cut my arm to shreds!), Installed a new back box, I have replaced the gear knob (I managed to find one...

Hi all, I am just about to buy a manual 2.0 147 ts lusso and have noticed that the gearshift is really 'floppy', when its in neutral the gearstick i can move the gearstick in a circular motion and when its in gear it moves what feels like a bit to much from side to side. Changing gears seem to...

The standard GTV gearshift feels rather unsatisfying for two reasons: the gearstick is excessively long, and the knob (and all aftermarket lift-up reverse knobs) feels light and insubstantial because it's hollowed out to accommodate the lift-up button. So recently I decided to get rid of the...

Before i start using force i have a question. My gearshift knob on my 166 is looking a little worn out and it would be nice if i could replace it. Is it just to get a new knob from my Alfa dealer and then spin off the old one and then just spin on the new one? Or is it a big pain to do? Thanks

Hi guys, I recently bought myself a series 2 GTV 3.0 V6 24V. It has very sloppy gearshift into 5th and 6th, probably as a result of the fact that it can be switched into reverse without using the pull-up mechanism on the gear lever. How can i fix this problem? It's driving me NUTS and spoiling...
