Was just wondering whether anyone else has ever had any issues with the gearbox in there Tjet, only recently mine started to become notchy, mainly making it difficult to get it into first and getting it out of reverse gear. I took it to Fiat last week and they've acknowledged theres something not right with it, and ive booked it in for 3 days for further investigation.

I guess this could be an issue with the box or the clutch? So anyone else experienced anything?

Cheers

23k on mine, its popped out of reverse once. Thats about it! Having owned an old mini for 7 years i always slip it into first before i go to reverse anyways as a force of habit. Sometimes feels a bit notchy when cold but i think its just a characteristic of the gearbox? Never had trouble getting it in and out of gear though!
 
Just a quick update on this one, took the car in on the 11th, and on the 13th i had a call from the dealer to say the Fiat UK had approved to put a new gearbox in my car........so im guessing there was something fairly drastic wrong with it, i'll give the full analysis when i get the car back hopefully next monday.......meanwhile im stuck with there 1.4 8v courtesy car :(
 
i had a problem reccently in my 1.4 16v gear box, they had my car for 7 days whislt they stripped it down got new parts and re-uilt it and i didnt even get a courtesy car cause im not old enough :( glad yours is getting sorted i bet you cant wait to get you t-jet back though.
 
well i have have the same problem, popping out of reverse and then wouldnt select any gear :( for about 15mins then after alot of wiggling and engine on and off, all the gears come back :) and sent the car back to fiats and they could not find nothing wrong :( hope you enjoy your new gearbox :)
 
Reverse makes noise sometimes when I select it.

Although the solution is selecting 1st and then R.

It has to do with the reverse not having synchro.
