Does anyone on this Forum know of other instances where a pinion shaft failed in a Multipla gear box at about 48,000 miles? The car has been regularly serviced, was owned by Fiat originally, and has been sensibly driven. Fiat have viewed the failed parts and stated they were "not able to find any specific area of concern"!
 
Mine failed and was replaced at 96K miles. the mechanic said it's not unusual at around 100K miles. Also because the seals go it usually means oil on the clutch which tends to judder when pulling away. Gearbox removed, sent to specialist - reconditioned £600. then did a 1700 mile trip to Switzerland and back and didn't miss a beat
 
From what ur sayin mine might be the same had the clutch changed after chiping my jtd now about 8000 miles later it judders doesnt wanna go in some hears in the moring and hates reverse and still slips in every gear apart from 1st so do I have this prob or not trying to follow threads of how to blead the clutch and so on job by job to see if it is that could do with a deffo though any certain ways of noing if oil getting in to clutch
 
Is it worth paying out for gearbox if it is that or just getting one from scrap yard and fitting it
 
As you say, searched hard.

I've taken spares off a very nice Multi, the only problem was a ******ed gearbox - if a scrappy can't find a gearbox then they must be in short supply.
