There are lots of posts ref the auto box on this model Do a search and i think you will find a couple of posts that advise a couple of good garages that might be able to help. But like most bits on the fiat lots of small electrical relays/switches etc that go wrong not always a new gearbox good luck

Hi, I also have a failed gearbox. After I have done 7 to 10 miles if I turnoff the engine it will not restart for 3 to 5 hours. Then it will restart as if nothing wrong. It does not show any fault.
If I run it for just under 20 miles the gearbox willl gradually fail, ie it will not lock into 4th then 3rd etc. but does not show any fault
I have been advised £1500 to repair without inspection. I currently cannot afford such silly costs but it is otherwise in good condition but I may have to scrap it. It is a 2004 Eleganza.
I have used a diagnostics tool which shows everything else running OK but it was not good enough to read the gearbox
I would appreciate any ideas.
Cheers

I have a auto gearbox from a 2005 Prestigio up for grabs.
