Hello I have a Fiat punto sporting and my gear selector cable just snapped. Trouble is none of the motor factors around by me sell them, they say I have to go to fiat direct .

The is currently someone selling the two cables on ebay but they are for a 1.2 8v 5speed punto. Does anyone know if these cables will fit mine?

possibly no listing in factors mean main dealer,but the internet is full of stuff.

I'd avoid the Stealers

look in scrap yards - you probably find one there

as for weather or not a 5 speed will work on a 6 speed..... im not sure....

Had to replace one on my HGT a couple of months back and dealer price was £96 (couldn't have gotten one from a scrap yard as the HGT MUltijet uses a specific part and the car is so rare they just don't exsist in scrap yards)

I would imagine 5 and 6 speed needs a different cables to allow for the extra gate and linkages for reverse

Dealer price is likely to be similar no matter what car or configuration you have but a basic 1.2 engined cars are pretty common so they are probably the cheapest

Paid £25 from the internet for a 5speed gear selector cable.. **** easy to fit as well.

Why does no-one bother to use the Forum's version of ePer? It makes these questions much easier to answer.

All mk2/2b's use the same two cables- 1.2 8v/16v/1.4 16v, 5 speed or 6 speed, with the exception of JTD's, HGT's and Autos (obviously)-

If you're not sure which cable you need, Fiat always stamp the part numbers on the parts themselves- white writing on the black sleeve of the cable approx 3-4 inches from the gearbox end.

I am looking for the gear selector cables for the Punto 2004 Active. And the ePER link you posted doesn't seem to list 2004. Do you have another link?
Thanks in advance.

cheaper to buy used cable, as new original is still expensive
