Iam Sivakumar from neyveli,I have fiat linea 1.3 emotionpk,Its run almost 30000 km now I feel gear shifting is very hard,If the engine cool condition its very smooth i meen initionaly after engine heated gear shifting is hard,&power steering also little hard what i have to do pl give expert openion

How old is the car?

Is it used for short journeys or long journeys?

1.3 MJet Engine?

Is the power steering difficult constantly or is it only occasionally?

when was your car bought if it was bought in 2009 get the Plastic Clutch Slave Cylinder changed to Metal Clutch Slave Cylinder and perform full bleed of brake and clutch system.

Have you changed power steering oil in your car, have to be changed every 2 years.
Power Steering is a bit hard in Linea when compared to other cars in India like Verna, SX4, Vento etc.
Linea have a hydraulic steering instead of Electonic power steering due to which it is a little heavier but the steering is lovable. Weights in perfectly and provide excellent feedback.
