General gear linkage adjustment

[4paws]

Does anyone know anything (other than what's in haynes) on adjusting Uno gear linkage?

-What,where and how do you adjust?

I can't always get into 3rd gear or when I can it falls out. Had a similar problem on an Uno years ago and fixed it by changing the detent springs, but no luck this time.

Hi 4paws,

I don't think you can adjust the gear change linage rods at all on a Uno. You can change the plastic bushes, which I did last year on mine and it's a simple enough job.

I have difficulty engaging 1st and 3rd gear on my 45S (5 speed box), sometimes 1st is impossible to engage with the engine running and the car at a stand still. Third can be awkward, and also 1st to 2nd can be hit or miss.

Now the weather has warmed up I will change the gearbox oil and clutch cable (mk1's didn't use a hydraulic clutch), and maybe that will help.

I would suggest with your car try a change of gearbox oil. I know it helped on my previous Uno.
