Hi All,

Firslty sorry that my early post is a question and not me providing something to the forum but this has come at a really bad time and need some help!

I have an 02 plate Punto MK2 Sporting Speedgear with the 7 Speed Auto gearbox.

It has been running perfect, has around 27,000K on the clock and was serviced by the previous owner every 7 months at a Honda Lookers garage.

All was fine however a couple of days ago, I got in my car to drive back from the gym (journey there was fine) and I noticed a light flashing on my dash, which I later looked in the manual to find out it was to do with the auto gearbox. I also noticed that the area around my gearstick was clicking everytime I pressed my break. (It is the usual clicking sound when the break is pressed to move from Park to Drive but it is doing it now everytime I press the break.) It has also started to allow me to change gears regardless of the revs in the Semi Auto mode which it never used to, I had to have enough revs to change up and enough to change down.

Basically I am wondering if anyone has had this problem with their Punto, has any ideas I can try myself or any idea of how much it will cost if I take it to FIAT. I don't want to take it to have it tested if I can find out it will cost £X before as I don't really have the money to even pay for the FIAT testing fee's at the mo.

Any help you can provide would be excellent.

Thanks Guys.
 
Svarcy,

Welcome to the forum. I note that you are in Nottingham so if no advice is forthcoming here, you could try the gearbox specialists at the end of Manvers Street, near Sneinton Market. Don't know if they would be of any use but may be worth an enquiry to get a professional opinion.
