Alfa romeo 147 or GT Broken gear selector removal tutorial 

This channel has been pure gold! Me and my 147 TS thank you! Cheers from Sweden!

Dude , you are my hero . I changed my 147 jtd gear selector , because of you , and you saved me a lot of money . Big love from Bulgaria

I did this on my 147 GTA a while back (before I saw this video). I rented a car hoist which made life a LOT easier. It's not that complicated, just time consuming taking apart the exhaust and tray. Was able to buy just the broken top white plastic part off eBay for about 25 quid.

Thanks for the useful video. I'm doing this job now with car on the ground. Very very very dificult

Thanx again Neil, that was of great help. Just did take out mine on my GT.

Thanks for the video! Planning this job for tommorow on my Alfa 147 😅😅

Great vid m8 👏👏👏

I did this on my 156 and can confirm getting the plate back into position on your back with the car on axle stands is not easy. Gear change is now mint though

Proposal for a job from a grateful follower job: change of air conditioning: tubes, compressor etc on a 156 2.5 V6. Thanks mate.

I have a 2002 147 2.0 autodelta turbo conversion it's a SELESPEED gearbox ,I had the car for 5years now it's been parked on my drive for 2years (just sitting there making my drive look good😎 reason it's parked I bought a MPV ) since I parked it it's been giving me trouble selespeed trouble and I have had enough lol I want to convert it to a manual I am looking for a 147 2.0 2002 doner Manuel car if you care to help 😊,I have all the instructions to do the job it's pretty simple than ppl make it I have never done one but I love this car only if it was a manual i would be getting my full 263bhp 🤗

Hi there, I have Alfa 147 1.6l and I hear a strange metal clicking sound when I shift into 1st, 3rd and 5th gear. If I do it gently, I don’t hear or feel anything wrong. Any idea what it could be? Thanks and keep posting great videos.

Hi, i have the same problem in the gt. I see that in the 147 there is a repair kit but in the gt i dont't see a repair kit. It's necessary to change all the selector? Thanks a lot for the support. Regards from spain

Hi Great vid by the way. I have a 147 1.6 TS 120hp and had the very stiff gear selection issue. Changed the top hat bushes (they were in a bad way). Now not stiff however the stick is now very sloppy, no issues engaging gears but is like a wooden spoon in a bowl. Do you have any GEAR LEVER BODY kits ? as im sure its the cup and side bush that is knackered on mine ?

I have trouble engaging 6th gear, I really need to push it hard to the right and then it gets in easily, or I just pull the ring for reverse and then it slides easily, It's like the selector doesn't go right enough, can this be adjusted?

Had a 147 jtdm 8v.Couldn't lower the clutch pedal more than about 2-3 inches when i was trying to change gear.So many people said so many different things wrong with it.In the end i gave up and traded it in.I was pissed off.Would help if you could tell me what it would have been? Thanks.

thank you

Top,thanks!!

This video is awesome. Just what I need. But do you know where I can get a new one from ?

Hi Neal, love ur content ! Can u tell me that exhaust part that you removed on the start, is that a DPF (filter) or not, Im not sure if GT has one or not ?

In the 1.6 TS ECO and the 1.9 JTD 100HP the procedure is similar but the reparation kit is different guys!!

Hi, sorry to bother you.. Do you know if 156 has the same process to replace that "mounting" top piece of plastic? Thanks a lot! Great video

i'm gonna ask question. I have 147 jtd and some time first and fifth gear wont engage until i put it in second or fourth, do i need to change the gear selector or the bushings?

Hi are you near Birmingham? I used to do all my own repairs but now I have neuropathy, Ankylosis Spondylitis and skin that tears easily which stops me tackling this exact job. 1) Can a top part fix the issue as I have checked mine is broken as seen for 147 6 speed on the flea bay? 2) Would you be able to repair mine or able to recommend a mechanic? 3) Where can I get hold of a complete selector if required? 4) Or where can I hire a car lift and get my son to tackle this with my instruction and this video?

hi Italia autos, I have an Alfa 147 ,2006 1.6 petrol.................i need to change the GEARBOX CHANGE LEVER LINKAGE REPAIR KIT ....but I want to it DIY....can I do this job without lifting or going under the car ?....thx

You should use NEW gasket for exhaust system...Greetings from Poland!

I need to change just the plastic bushes under the gear selector of the GT 2.0 JTS. How do I get out that stupid pin? I tried a hammer with a screwdriver but nothing is happening! It's not the same as the JTD.

Hey, Do you know if the 1.9 5 speed jtd with separate socket fits on the 2.0 ts with originally one complete piece?

I was planing to remove that cover for a long time,just to check if there is any broken part,and to lubricate. Reason for that is problem that I have with second gear. But after this video I see this is not ez job :(

Hey there 😊 I recently purchased a 147 tspark.... unknown to me the car does have a few problems. I would really like to ask you, can I make use of a 2pin temp sensor instead of the 3pin. Secondly why is it over fueling, and I note the odometer is constantly flashing. Then it keeps telling me about the abs and vds warning. Online there's not much info, hope you can help me "PLEASE"

How much does it cost to have it replaced, or how much did you charge? Thanks

Can you do a vid on the stiff clutch pedal fix on a 147?

What did you do? Did you replace with another complete unit?

Hi. I have a 156 V6. I do not see any broken part, but I cannot select reverse. All other gears are fine. Any advice?

Hello i have Alfa Romeo GT 2.0 JTS. my shift knob is moving to sides(like a woble) in neutral but when in gear it is perfect. Is it normal ? or is something wrong ? If yes i would be glad if you can tell me. Thanks.

Hi,I struggle to engage 1st and 2nd,hard to get of info gear,could this be the cause? Cheers!

Is it possible this fault can also cause the 30amp ignition fuse to blow?

Hi I have a 156 and the top portion of the white cup is loose. seems 2 out of the 3 bolts are loose and wont tighten up. is there any way this can come off with out doing the procedure as in your video?

Would you know why the gear linkage ball joint cap thing keeps popping off? Would the cap that clips on to the ball joint be worn?

I have a 2007 alpha gt 1.9 jtd,I would like to replace the part, where can I find the spare part? If possible new, refurbished, but not used, can you help me?I live in Italy

Do you think it is possible to fix this part with epoxy?

Hello from Spain! I have a problem with my 156 2.5 V6 gearbox. When the car is hot, fifth and sixth gears are very hard to engage. Do you know what could be the problem?

The problem to me is with the 6th gear at the highway it pops out many times, and when accelerating is too easy to take the gear out touching the gear knob a bit... Can be this or will be gearbox relative ?

Hi do you do repairs for people ? I think I have a similar issue with my Alfa romeo?

👍

Where do you get your background music from?

yea im going to the garage with this problem

On my GT the gears engage fine but the gear stick wobbles around like crazy, what's the problem? Do I have to open the whole thing from the bottom?

Have you got a spare one for sale in good condition?

It's not possible to access to the gear selector from the inside of the car removing the center console??

someone needs to 3D print a serviceble top access version of this.....

Hey, i was wondering if you could help me. I have an alfa romeo brera and my window switches are not always working. When you try to close the window sometimes it opens some times it closes. Or if the window doesnt do anything you can hear some sort of a click. Maybe you know what could be the problem?

How much would you charge for this job?

Now I am not the type to say that metal is best out of sheer conservatism. There are already more then enough people like that in the world. This part should however NOT have been constructed out of plastic!

Masakra... Bella ma czułe punkty

OMG, I can't believe you need to drop the exhaust to get to this? Who the hell designed that? Every other car you just remove the interior parts to get to it.. Jesus I'm praying the gear selector issue I have is the top hats not this. I really can't be arsed doing this, but if I have to.. I will. FML.

Non è questo il modo di lavorare ti devi vergognare
