My Twin Air Panda 4x4 on a 13 plate has been increasingly reluctant to change gear. Car's done 53000 miles and has been regularly maintained by an independent Fiat specialist
Symptoms are:
• Difficulty engaging gears going up the box (under load)
• No real problem changing down the box (not under load)
• Harsh rattling/meshing noise over 3500 rpm in second gear
• Some intermittent vibration in the clutch pedal
• Clutch feels strong (no slipping)
• Car engages gears smoothly at idle with clutch depressed (no noises)
• Gear box engages fine with engine switched off
I was losing some fluid from the reservoir so the master and slave cylinders have been replaced.
I’m thinking bearing in the box? Perhaps flywheel? Any suggestions?
