Technical Fiat 500 1.2 gearbox

[Guerciotti]

Hi,
The Mrs has a 2016 Fiat 500 with 64,000 miles.

The change into 1st or 3rd has suddenly become very vague. No noises, no crunching or anything else but incredibly imprecise and unlike how it used to shift. Then changes into 2nd and 4th are fine.

Any ideas on what could be happening? Anything to worry about? Or change the gearbox oil?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

potentially it's down to the cables linking gearbox with the cabin

Plenty of info on here,

The forums SEARCH is pretty good

Thanks - I'll have a look at this next week when I get the opportunity and let you know.

Do you mean the gear stick itself is sloppy or just not a positive into gate action?

Hi. The latter - not a positive into gate action
