Hey all

i have slight problem the plastic bush that hold the gearstick down on my seicento has now completely broken up into pieces,

my only concern is how i remove the ball joints from the gearstick and the lever connected to the plastic block as i have looked through the technical manual it try an get an idea on how to remove and refit and it only shown the gearstick that has a lift up reverse,

ill be contacting fiat in the morning to get a replacement plastic block my other concern is that the lever that connected to the plastic block will not be supplied and will have to change them over is there a specific way in which it needs to be done. the lever i'm concerned about is the one that labeled 4

You will need to take the gear knob off to swap the gear lever into the new plastic block. Most people on here seem to think the only way to get the knob off is to saw it off. It isn't and I can't think where this idea came from.
Put your gear lever upside down in a vice or workmate or similar. Put an open ended spanner of a suitable size over the knob and knock it off with two or three sharp taps of a hammer. It just pushes back on.
I had the same problem a couple of years back and the part was about £18 if I remember rightly. Gearchange will possibly feel tighter afterwards, mine did and it's much better.
