Is that the symptoms of the dreaded bearings?
Yep, mine started with the waggling gearstick

Mine seems all good at the moment and its on 82k so i'm wondering if mine was done by the previous owner or its just a good box? It has a FSH and it was a one owner car.
Are you going to go for the rebuild or just replace the box?
At 82k miles I'd be amazed if the gearbox hasn't been seen to at some point already, it seems to be a case of "when" not "if" with the M32 ‘box.
Mine is currently languishing in Stoneacre Fiat's yard awaiting the warranty claim process, which is far from certain they'll pay out and has been like pulling teeth thus far :bang:

I'm hoping its been done but i also have a 3 month warranty so if it hasn't been done it needs to start whining pretty soon
You shouldn't have any problems with the warranty cover as its not a consumable but i'm guessing they know about the M32 issues?
I didn't think it would be a problem but it's been quite the opposite! See my thread 'New Abarth Grande Punto EsseEsse Owner'

Someone who has recently moved in a few doors down from my grandparents has a Grande Punto Abarth, and it looks absolutely stunning.
