Hi! Had my Fiat 850 Coupe 1967 gearbox changed last summer to a refurbished one (I think it might be from an 850 sedan) and with taller gears, so gave up on the acceleration to get a less revving car I guess. Also changed the whole clutch assembly along with other parts involved like the small bronze bushing in the camshaft. So every related part, flywheel too, should be fine, new and in order. Also new tranny and motor mounts.
Still after the change the car developed a clutch judder when starting from first gear, especially when starting uphill and totally unbearable when starting uphill with more load like 2 people along in addition to the driver.
So all the parts are checked, clutch has been out a few times and no oil on the surfaces or such. Can this be related to the taller gearing? I have checked around and googled my a** off but nowhere it has been said that a certain 850 gear box is incompatible with the Coupe standard engine.
Some have suggested that there should be a "bend" in the clutch cable cover tube when installed and if this is not there it might cause this?
Please help if you have any ideas. We have run out of parts to replace and ideas to try.
