Hi,
I have a Fiat Linea 1.3 multijet diesel car, it has run 46,000 KMs till now, the problem from a month which I am facing is, whenever the car is cold (on start-up), I m able to shift all the gears with ease, after sometime when the engine gets little heat up say after half an hour run, it gets little harder to shift to 1st gear, the problem gets bigger when I need to shift it to reverse it makes a huge noise and makes it really hard to shift.
The alternate solution which I see, is turn of the engine shift to reverse gear and then turn it on to reverse park the car.
I went to show it to near by garage, he says it is because of Clutch plate, but when I went through online I see the below findings.
Condition
Fails to Release (Pedal pressed
to floor. Shift lever does not move
freely in and out of reverse gear.
Probable Cause
a. Improper linkage adjustment.
b. Improper pedal travel.
c. Loose linkage.
d. Faulty pilot bearing.
e. Faulty driven disc.
f. Fork off ball stud.
g. Clutch disc hub binding on clutch gear
spline.
h. Clutch disc warped or bent.
i. Loose pivot rings in cover assembly.
Correction
a. Adjust linkage.
b. Trim bumper stop and adjust linkage.
c. Replace as necessary.
d. Replace bearing.
e. Replace disc.
f. Install fork onto stud. Lightly lubricate
fingers at release bearing. Also lube
bearing I.D. groove.
g. Repair or replace clutch gear
and/or disc.
h. Replace disc (runout should not
exceed 0.020″).
i. Replace plate and cover assembly.
Please provide me your expertise advise on this.
Thanks.
