Hi, I have a 2009 1.4 16v petrol grande punto. The gearbox needs replaced. It is a 6 speed. I was just wondering if there is any other gearboxes from the fiat range that would fit. I cant seem to find a gearbox online for the car.

Hi. SEARCH C514 on here

Hi, another question. I have found a 6 speed from a fiat bravo 1.4 16v. Does anyone know if this will fit. I have compared the two picture wise and they look the same. The bolt holes for the mount/ bell housing are all correct from what I can see.

What code are they?

The gearbox might physically bolt on to the engine but the selector assemblies might be different or it might have a different casing for a different type of engine mount. So best to make sure the codes match. Can you not find a company that refurbished them so they sell you a new (refurbished) gearbox and you send your broken one back. Saves a lot of money and you generally are not buying someone else’s duff gearbox

So what can (and usually) go wrong in a gearbox (GB) ?

- synchro's
- bearings
- bent forks

All replaceable items: remove the GB, open, replace parts, close, re-install GB.

Other issues are:

- worn housing due to bearing seized: scrap the GB.
- broken gears/worn teeth: scrap the GB (£££ to replace)
- bent primary/secondary shaft: scrap the GB.

Gearboxes are not rocket-science, even the automatic, dual-clutches or robotized ones ! A decent mechanic WILL fix it !!
