linkage

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...

Hi Does anyone know if the wiper linkage and motor from a; ALFA ROMEO GIULIETTA 2.0 JTDM. part number : 50509397 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143327767393?ul_noapp=true will fit a 2003 JTD 147. Thanks in advance.

Nope , not broken but drivers side spindle bush very worn , any way of fixing it? thanks

Hi All, After doing a Google search, it turns out that the wiper linkage on the right hand side of Alfa Romeo 147s is a particular weak spot. Rather that replace my broken wiper linkage with a new or second hand unit, I thought I’d have a go at repairing it. Following are the steps I used to...

Hi, I have a ALFA ROMEO 159 JTS Q4 LUSSO JTS Q4 LUSSO ESTATE 3195cc (2006) PETROL I'm smarting from replacing my subframe for the MOT and have discovered I need wiper linkage and spindles. The wiper still works but I think the spindle has been broken for a while because the wiper performance...

Hi, On my Brera (S) 2.2, I've found that switching from 1st to 2nd is becoming increasingly difficult to engage. It's not that it slips out, it simply needs a fair amount of ooomph to shift the gear stick into position. Not such an issue for other gears although it's never been a particularly...

Hi! I´ve been repairing my alfa 147 with the typical problem of a stiffy gear change. Everything was ok until the moment of connecting the wires to the gear selection plate ,when i went inside the car it results that the gear stick was completelly on the right, as it was always on 5th and...

My wipers failed halfway through my Irish touring hol which is a bit of a pain, thankfully the weather has been brilliant so no harm done yet. One of the balls had popped out off the linkage so it wasn't a biggie, however as its a bit loose it's probably going to happen again, I know you can buy...

Apologies that this has been covered before, but my 159's wiper linkage has gone wobbly on the driver's side, as seems to be fairly common. Although the Alfa garage I go to are good and I'd always trust them with anything vital, the price for a new linkage and fitting is stratospheric, and I...

With all the snow, the wiper started playing up. My fault for not clearing the snow from beneath the wiper but now the wiper wipes but sometimes goes all the way off the screen and down the drivers side door! Just taken a look at it and the right wiper linkage is snapped, I'd like to have a go...

My neighbour has just had to replace the wiper motor on his A6. Fine - no problem. Except that the wipers no longer sweep as far as they should! When the motor is at rest the motor crank is horizontal to the right and the wipers in the correct down position. But turn the motor on and when the...

Hi all, I took the gta in for an MOT the other day. The good news is it sailed through, the bad news is that when they tried to put it in gear (or so they tell me) and drive it out of the garage the gearstick was just floppy so wouldn't go into gear. The garage then refused to work on it...

I have tried to improve the amount of movement and sloppy feel on my 1983 Alfetta GTV by removing the worn plastic bush and replacing it with a needle barrel/roller bearing and adding needle thrust bearings on each side, it worked well. Very firm feel at the gear shift end now the only movement...

Hi everyone, I was just driving back from work, and lost all the gears. The gear stick just wouldn't go into a gear. I looked under the bonnet and found that the gear linkage had popped off. See pics below. My problem is - how tight is the fit meant to be when i put it back on?? as it...

hey guys the wiper linkage bar went in my 02 147, been looking for a linkage bar everywhere but its all like 200 euro and such no scrap yard had them that i have rang anyway. any you guys have one lieing around :confused: or know where i can get one on the cheaper side cheers

Hi guys, Not sure if anyone else has had this problem, but it's happened to be twice in 2 weeks and is scaring my GF from driving the car. What is happening is that at some point (not sure if it's me being too rough with the gearbox or something) the ball-joint is slipping out of the hole...

Are there any gear linkage repair kits knocking around? mine are worn...any suggestions?

I've recently removed the gearbox, so had the linkage apart at the gearbox end. Since putting it back together, the gearstick seems to have quite alot of lateral movement, and when you push the stick towards the passenger side, it seems to be tight and stick there, that is in gear or in neutral...

i have just replaced the wiper linkage arms and blades on my 147 after the original plastic one snapped. i now have the modified wiper system with flat wipers but the passenger wiper is much smaller and is sticking up at a angle has any one else found this my alfa is a 52 plate 147. not sure...

Hi, Had my black 156 JTD for a few months now and loving it. First ever diesel so was nervous but am v happy. However, the aircon stopped working so when it was in for a service they had a look and apparently part of the gear linkage has worn a hole in one of the aircon pipes! The garage is...
