You could try looking at the gear box linkage under the car. Generally the gearbox on the 33 is loose though. _________________ Fiat Bravo 165 Sport |

Hi
Nissan Almera????
Of course the box is tighter on that car. Japanese cars have "precision gearbox selectors".
Italian cars were always famous by doodgy gear selection (Although some were worse than others)
33´s were one of the worses, and by no means you can expect to have an "good as japanese gear selection".
However check your gear linkage. Change the bush on the base of the gearlever, the bushes on the fork, and the bushes that hold the back support to the box & to the body...in some cases it pays off to change the fork itself...
Hope this helps
