Hey, i've just got may panda last month, a black 'M' reg 1000CLX Fire, i think its great love the car could not have asked for a better first car! HOWEVER the guy we got it from was not exactly reliable! before we got it we got him to fix the broken speedo and fuel relay, but now it turns out that the gearbox has been leaking, have no idea how long. We took it to the main fiat dealer and they said that the whole thing would need to be replaced along with the clutch and a a squeeling noise that was being made when it is started needs a new Cambelt tensioner.
Sorry long winded i know!
Now me and my dad, before we knew the gearbox was leaking, filled up the gearbox with some new oil gave it a good ol' home service, clean new engine oil, filters, plugs, now the oil has leaked but the gearbox is fine it doesnt exhibit any signs of needing to be replaced although OCCASIONALY i stress this becuase it is rarely it will not let me put it in fifth without double clutching, it making a horible grinding noise and spits it out.
now has anyone ever had this problem before? will it go away with refitting a new gaitor on the drive shaft and giving it some new oil? or is it as they say time for a new, and very expensive gearbox, and clutch? if this is the case i'm afriad i can't afford to do this and will have to try and find a new panda or worse get a CORSA! please help....
