Repair the Fiat Uno gearbox

To ensure the proper functioning of these different systems, the manufacturer Fiat has chosen to vary the gearboxes, adapting them to the power and model of the engine. Follow the Guide toEDEN BOITES to know everything about the Fiat UNO gearboxes!

Which gearbox for your Fiat Uno?

The first manual transmissions of the Fiat Uno were not very popular with users and did not guarantee a pleasant driving experience. The base models with smaller engines, such as the Fiat Uno 0.9 and 1.1 litre, ran mainly on a Type 146 4-speed manual gearbox. The more powerful versions, especially those with a turbo engine, were equipped with 5-speed Type 146.C.0 manual transmissions.

From 1989, Fiat evolved manual gearboxes on certain Fiat Uno models. The manufacturer then opted for the Type C514 manual gearboxes, which were reputed to be more manoeuvrable and reliable. This is for example the gearbox of the Fiat Uno 1L7 Diesel.

From the 1980s, Fiat Uno were also marketed with optional automatic gearboxes . Thus, the Selecta automatic transmission works on the basis of a continuously variable transmission, which allows for smooth transitions and a smoother ride.
