Hi all..

Yesterday I passed the MOT for my 1996 punto (MK1 1.1). But I felt it was not working properly in 3rd gear as it used to be. When I engage in 3rd gear and increase the speed it is not going smoothly and engine is giving some resistant, which we can ignore.

Can anybody tell what could be a problem ?? During mot I failed in with rear suspension arm, brakes (disc and pad) and front shock absorbers. I changed all that. I think, this change shouldnt be relate to this problem. Do they do any kind of tuning during MOT ??

Any answer would be appreciated.

thanks in advance.

does the steering wheel and gear knob 'vibrate' or shake really badly when accelerating in 3rd gear, but not other gears??

your 3rd gear could just be about to fall apart, which will possibly destroy your gearbox. although I am not sure.
 
this seems to come up quite a lot these couple weeks
i had the same with my second gear and someone else on here had 3rd gear same problem
get the gearbox checked cuz mine was in need of repair had 2 syncromesh rings and the bit where the gears slide on done
