MY 98 FIAT SEICENTO IS CRUNCHING AND DIFFICULT TO GET INTO 1ST,2ND AND REVERSE GEARS , IS THE CLUTCH ON THIS MODEL HYDRAULIC? HAS ANYONE ENCOUNTERED THIS PROBLEM AND MORE IMPORTANTLY CORRECTED IT
Sei's use a cable clutch. The cable itself is known to fail quite regularly.
I would say your problem is down to either a stretched clutch cable, worn clutch (causing "clutch drag") or a worn gearbox (sycro's as mentioned previously).
