2005 Sportivo Gear Shift

[Daz]

i have an '05 stivo... had a few probs getting into 3rd at high revs at first, but i think its jst a matter of getting used to the gearbox as other members have mentioned..

after a being a bit more conscious about my 3rd gear shift, it seems to slide in perfect.

so yeh.. think jst a matter of getting used to the stivo gbox

(ps: i kno this is an old post being resurrected.. but was jst browsing thru forum on a bored lunch break hehe.. )

I've had a few issues with 2-3 shifts in the first day or two as well.

For me it was just like alot of the other members here....getting used to the car.

I only mainly drive the car on the weekends so it will take me a little longer to sort it out exactly.

Practice makes perfect!

Dont worry guys I am and still experiencing a stiffness in gear changes from 2nd to 3rd. Like you said its because we are still getting use to the Sportivo gearbox

and also because the car is still brand new.

Once it wears in a little at around the 5,000km mark it will be perfect! :D

My 03 is booked in Friday 17th to get the 1st to 2nd gear change fixed.

Like everyone else, over 7,000 rpm I cant select second gear... although second to third is fine.

If they don't fix it it will keep going back under warranty until it is fixed.

Love having a warranty on the car... love it!

hey guys i also have a bit of an issue with the 1st to 2nd gear change, as well as 2nd to 3rd. from 2nd to 3rd its almost like i cant feel the synchros let me shift into 3rd....not smooth at all....i have an 05 stivo its done 10500 on the clock and its only been a couple of weeks after the 10,000km service.

should i ask about the clutch adjustment...?

i just want smooooooth changes for F*$# sake!!

i jst feel like the more i wanna drive hard the more damage im gonna do to my clutch or gearbox???

plz help me :(

Robby,

Yes! Ask them to perform the 'Field Fix' for the clutch adjustment. Get them to also do the selector cables at the same time if it has not already been done.

Sorry guys I didnt think I was posting a repeated topic as I was only really checking with the facelift 2005 owners.

I couldnt really find any info on the 05 stivos gear shift posted as yet. My apologies if I missed something.
