On the other hand, you can anticipate the different outcomes and sometimes replacement is the only lasting solution to get your Fiat back on track. In this case, you need to find a suitable replacement part for your vehicle and understand how the refurbishment will work.

 

 

What are the different types of Fiat gearboxes?

Before making your choice in shopyou need to be sure that you can identify the right model. It's not enough to simply indicate whether you're looking for a standard exchange Fiat 500 gearbox or a usedGearboxFiat Punto 1.2 petrol, for example. It is the reference of the defective product that must be considered. This is a succession of numbers and/or letters that the manufacturer systematically engraves on the casing. If you are unable to identify the code, the technical specifications of your Fiat will enable you to order a compatible gearbox.

The old Fiat 500 gearbox is a 4-speed manual version for models designed between 1957 and 1975. When this flagship model went back into production in 2007, the Fiat 500 gearbox underwent significant changes. The Fiat 500 0.9LTwinAir gearboxis a manual model. It has 5 gears for the 85 hp engine and 6 gears for the 105 hp engine. As standard, the Gearbox Fiat 500 1.3 multijet 65 bhp and 95 bhp is a 5-speed manual version, the same type of Fiat 500 1.2L69 bhp gearbox. The Fiat 500 automatic gearbox also appeared in 2007. Available as an option, it has 5 speeds for the 1.2L 69 bhp engine and 6 speeds for the 1.6L 100 bhp engine.

Perhaps it's a Fiat Punto gearbox that's causing you problems. Here too, the models have undergone several improvements, which means that the transmission systems have been diversified. The Fiat Punto 1 gearbox is a 5-speed manual. It is found on the generation of Punto produced between 1993 and 1999. The Fiat Punto 3 gearbox appeared in 2005. It is also called Gearbox Fiat Punto Evo or Fiat Grande Punto gearbox. As standard, it is always a manual gearbox with a different number of gears depending on the engine. For example, the Fiat Punto 1.2L gearboxand the Fiat Punto 1.3 Multijet gearbox are BVM5, while the 120 hp and 129 hp 1.9L Multijet blocks are coupled with a BVM6. Over the generations, the Punto has been equipped with 5- and 6-speed automatic transmissions, as well as an optional CVT.

 

 

Currently, the Fiat Ducato gearbox is a BVM6 as standard. As an option on the 140hp, 160hp and 180hp power units, Fiat offers a BVA9. This was not always the case. On the first generations of this van the Fiat Ducato 2.3 jtd gearbox, like the Fiat Ducato 2.8 gearbox or the Fiat Ducato 1.9 td gearbox, was usually a BVM5. The optional gearbox for most engines was then a BVA4.

Is your vehicle's loss of performance linked to a Fiat Seicento gearbox? It is probably a 5-speed manual gearbox.

You may be considering repairing or replacing a Fiat Panda gearbox. The Gearbox Fiat Panda 1 is a BVM4 from 1981 to 1986. The manufacturer then expanded its range of engines, which offered the opportunity to equip the Panda 1 with a new 5-speed gearbox, in addition to the BVM4. The Fiat Panda 2 gearbox (2003 - 2012) marks the end of the BVM4. For example, a BVM5 is used for the GearboxFiat Panda 1.2L 60hp, while a BVM6 is combined with the 1.4L 101hp engine. The 1.3L Multijet 69hp unit is coupled with a BVA5. In the case of a Gearbox Fiat Panda 4×4, it is either a BVM5 or a BVM6.

The Fiat Doblo gearbox is no exception to the rule of diversity. The Gearbox Fiat Doblo 1.9 jtd is a BVM5. However, other engines are coupled with a BVM6.

As you can see, the part numbers vary from one model to another, but it is also possible that a gearbox is compatible with different models. This is why it is important to ensure that you know the correct part number. If you are in any doubt, seek advice from qualified technicians.

 

What are my options when faced with a Fiat gearbox problem?

A Fiat 500 gearbox problem could manifest itself in the same way as a Fiat Panda gearbox problem or a Gearbox Fiat Doblo problem, for example. This is because the operating system is broadly the same. However, each type of gearbox has its own architecture. This means that the range of solutions varies greatly. In addition, the repair must be consistent with the type of breakdown, which requires a diagnosis.

The best thing you can do is to keep an eye on the behaviour of your vehicle, especially the reactions of the transmission system. Note any anomalies: gears that don't shift or shift with difficulty, gears that skip, warning lights that come on, squeaks when shifting gears... It would be even better if you could identify the times when the symptoms occur. This is because the signs of failure can be continuous or triggered by specific events.

Then make an appointment to see a professional and tell him or her all your findings. Be as specific as you can, but don't feel guilty if you have trouble providing all the details he or she needs to know.

 

 

Based on the information you have provided, the mechanic can actively search for the cause of the breakdown. This may be due to a poorly fitted Gearbox Fiat Doblo support. Or it may be the linkage of the Gearbox used Fiat Ducato 1.9 td that has been damaged by corrosion. In the case of a problem GearboxFiat Panda 4×4, it may be a lack of lubricant that prevents the system from functioning optimally. These few examples show us that there are many causes of failures. However, their formal identification is the only factor that allows us to choose an appropriate repair strategy.

A Fiat 500 gearbox change will be appropriate if the malfunction is the result of excessive lubricant clogging.

In the event that the problem with your Gearbox Fiat Ducato 130 multijet is due to an oil leak, a refill should be sufficient.

If the Gearbox Fiat Ducato 2.5 tdi or the Gearbox Fiat Ducato 2.8 idtd makes suspicious noises, the mechanic may recommend an oil change, an oil change, a fastener adjustment...

It will not be necessary to change GearboxFiat Panda if a simple intervention concerning theFiat Panda gearbox oil allows your vehicle to be restored. On the other hand, the purchase of a used Fiat Panda gearbox or a standard exchange should be considered if the level of deterioration is too great.

Let's assume that the removal GearboxFiat Doblo is essential because the filling GearboxFiat Doblo and small repairs do not offer any guarantee of efficiency. First of all, it will be necessary to carry out an oil change GearboxFiat Doblo and then remove the defective part. The replacement gearbox will be carefully installed by the mechanic who will then addoil GearboxFiat Doblo respecting the level and type of lubricant recommended by the manufacturer. Checks to ensure the full functionality of your transmission system will be carried out before the vehicle is returned to you.

The above examples are not exhaustive and may concern other models such as the Gearbox Fiat Doblo Cargo or the Fiat Sedici 4×4 gearbox. This means that other situations could arise, but rest assured that the professionals are perfectly qualified to deal with different situations. That's why it's mandatory to go to a workshop because the skills and tools needed to repair a gearbox are very specific.
