fair point. anyway, are all GPs dual logic?? also went im booting it, 3rd gear sometimes crunches. i dont know it thats me being to keen or if its a fault. also crunches when selecting reverse.
Does yours change gear on it's own? if not it is a manual. if it does it's a dualogic.
selecting reverse will crunch a little if you push it to quickly. just make sure you have your foot right down on the clutch!

Mine crunched when cahing up to 3rd over 3000rpm, and did the same when coming back down the box at speed.
Think it was a bush or something in the gear linkage. Was sorted out quickly by the dealer
eh?!
dualogic = auto
manual = manual
sporting isnt dualogic.
:idea: think we need to just get rid of the thread completely as it seems to be so mixed up with junk it's getting fustrating!
I have given up with this thread!
ditto!
I spent 3 hours one saturday afternoon editing it all........ended up giving up!
Come on Kev...parts 3 is due out!!!

Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to lodge a second formal complaint about the Fiat Punto I bought in October 06.
The problem lies with the Dualogic transmission. With the car left cold/undriven for two or more days, the transmission judders violently when moving from standstill in first gear to second gear. This applies for both automatic and manual modes. Once the car has been driven more approximately thirty minutes, the gearbox reverts to its normal operations.
For the past six months I have worked very closely with my dealer to have this problem rectified. To be precise they have already had three chances to “look into the problem”:
There is obviously a fault with this particular Dualogic transmission, including how it had caused my partner and I severe inconvenience several months ago – for more information please refer to the first formal complaint that I lodged in January of this year (enclosed).
I look forward to hearing from you in due course regarding how you would be able to help resolve this. If I receive no response to this letter, dated 21st May 07, within 14 days, then I will refer this case to consumer association groups and/or my solicitor for further action. I can be contacted on xxxx xxx xxx or xx xxxx xxxx.
Best regards,
Kevin

For the past six months I have worked very closely with my dealer to have this problem rectified. To be precise they have already had three chances to “look into the problem”:
- First attempt: could not fault the problem, recalibrated the gearbox, problem not resolved.
- Second attempt: faulted/experienced the problem, recalibrated the gearbox and adjusted the brake switch, problem still not resolved.
- Third attempt: could not fault the problem.
There is obviously a fault with this particular Dualogic transmission, including how it had caused my partner and I severe inconvenience several months ago – for more information please refer to the first formal complaint that I lodged in January of this year (enclosed).

Will be interesting to see what happens next...
Just for your info Kev I read the below sentence in a review for the Golf GT today and I thought you could relate to it:
It sounds like this is common in these types of gearboxes, but note that it says "Slight" not "Violent". Looks like you're using the right word to describe it

Well I don't have any expectations - I don't expect it to be fixed, replaced or resolved. If that's the case and if its proven not to be a characteristic (which can be hard to prove), then I'll just stay away from Fiats after I sell it in a few years time - simple as that
Btw what's DSG?

It's Volkswagen's Direct-Shift Gearbox, the best and smoothest automated manual gearbox in the world.
