Thanks for the replies and sorry for my late responce. Well I haven't noticed any change when the car is cold when it comes to the first gear. It's almost always hard. The punto is an 98 model so no guarantee. I got it to a technician (not FIAT technician but he was cheaper) and we changed the clutch because it really was very hard to push. So this problem is solved. But the technician discovered that the "sasman" (I don't know it in english - the thing where the gears change in the front of the car not inside?) was broken and that it was glued. Anyway the car doesn't seem to have any problem at all except with the first and reverse gear which sometimes are hard. Especially when it comes to the reverse gear sometimes it doesn't function... I hope I don't need a new "sasman" because I've heard they are quite expensive. But the reverse gear is really giving me trouble. When I push it down it makes a somewhat loud noise and one time in three it won't go in at all. Can it be something else apart the "Sasman"? Some kind of cable maybe? Thanks!
