Along with the other stuff I did (new control arms, an attempt at tie rods, and new headlight bulbs), I changed the gearbox fluid, which has a recommended replacement interval of 120k (mine is 135k). The old fluid was nasty black and looked almost like old engine oil I filled it up with the required 1,5 liters of 75W80 GL4+ and at least the gears change nicely in a quick back and forth test (past midnight here).
A quick search says it could be a sign of almost-gone gearbox, but those seemed to be all about automatic transmission - and Fiat recommends the 120k, which is close enough to 135k.
