Have you had a new gearbox fitted? The threaded part with the arrow on is a speedo drive. Which part is loose? The speedo drive is held in by the 10 mm bolt about an inch down,the thread then pulls out and has a seal around it,but make sure you pull the plastic black central spindle out at same time. When out,pull the spindle out by the gear at the bottom,there is also a seal on the spindle shaft. When refitting the bolt fits in a hole in the metal housing,mark position of hole with tip ex to ensure it lines up.

Nice catch (y)

BUT...

Grande Punto doesn't use speedo drive. Speed is calculated from the ABS sensors.

Probably this gearbox is a replacement from an older fiat model (idea/musa used to have the exact same gearbox with a speedo drive)

Check the attached picture. This is the 6-speed gearbox from the 1.4 16v n/a Grande.
You can see the black plastic bung where the speedo used to be.
