Do Fiats have a tiptronic transmission - I have just been asked whether my car has this or not but it looks like your normal regular automatic, thanks in advance.

Should be a Speedgear, like mine: i.e. a CVT (belted, rather than cogged) semi-automatic transmission -- with the ability to also change 'manually' (but clutchless, in effect) into five preset gear ratios (or six, in the Sporting): so, I suppose, it could be described as "Tiptronic" (originally developed by Porsche?): as you have the ability (although somewhat limited) to override the automatic function....

Does this help? Does it make sense...? (Sorry, it's late.)

PS: Does your gear lever look like this...? That's the Speedgear, described above....

Thanks that's Excellent, mine is exactly the same as your picture, so you're spot on! Will pass that info on and thanks very much for your help!

By the way: the first half of this manual deals with the Speedgear box.
