2.4JTD Gearbox
Hi,
My car is a 2001 156 2.4JTD (140bhp). The gearlever has recently stopped centring itself on the 3rd/4th gear plane which makes changing gear a bit more difficult. Occasionally I select 1st when I want 3rd, and 2nd when I want 4th - not ideal! There seems to be no 'spring' in the gearlever at all, but otherwise the gearbox seems fine - any ideas as to what has gone wrong (and how much it will cost to put right)? Whilst on the subject of the gearbox, does anyone know what the maximum amount of torque the standard gearbox can take? Was just wondering If getting it chip tuned would chew up the gearbox. Thanks Nick |

Depends how long you keep it and how hard you drive it. I seem to recall (but cannot remember the source or how accurate it is) that if you're going to break anything chipping a 130-140hp JTD then it would be the transmission. The thought of that put me off the idea - especially now that I can just go out and buy the multi-jet plus I get the more needed traction control as well. I've no idea about your other queries so will not reply to them. -- Z Scotland Alfa Romeo 156 2.4JTD Veloce Leather 'Oil' be seeing you.. (Email without 'Alfa' in subject are auto-deleted..sorry!) |
