Hi people To my astonishment a week ago at my Alfa 147 I had to notice a funny clacking in the stand with running engine that always disappears when I step on the clutch….after visiting several workshops, nobody could tell me what that could be. So came to the workshop where I had bought the Alfa with clear that they had to disassemble half the car first to see what that could be… After the findings of the gearbox it was clear… A n the gear from the return gear which broke a jagged and had spread out in the gearbox….the mechanic from the factory saddle meant that he had never had that and that should not exist because even if you drove the return gear in without the clutch being pressed, the gear is not kaput…. All in all it becomes expensive… New gear, not available in Germany or Italy, mine now comes directly from the Alfa plant and costs 1800 euros… d fortunately get half paid… That was my little story 🙂
