Hello to all and can I say what a helpfull site this seems to be. Well done.
I seem to have the same problem on my 53reg active sport 1.6 with only 11,000 miles on the clock. 2nd and 3rd felt alittle notchy (felt worse when racing through the gears ) so mentioned this on its service. They came back to say that it was the gear lever linkage and to be fair they changed it with no problem. However on driving it home although it seemed a bit better I wasnt convinced that the problem had been fixed. It feels like two cogs crinding together for a split second befor it slips into 3rd gear. I contacted them to be told that according to them it now drives like any other stilo and I should beable to feel the gears going in. On reading the other comments on this problem I wonder if I have a synchro problem.?? would you agree or are the stilo gearboxes natually notchy.
Any comments would be greatfull apprieciated.
ps still like my stilo
