Nice video. I have a similar issue with my 156 2.5 v6. All gears work, but to engage the 6th gear you really have to push the lever to the right hard. Also the first gear sometimes needs a little convincing to go in for the first time when stopping at a light. When you disengage and reengage it goes in smoothly. I'll probably have it serviced and the linkages checked in the spring.
Hello. Thanks for watching. For the 6th gear you have adjustment on the cable. For the first you may have a worn out clutch disc or not the correct clutch set brand. Also a issue on the synchro can be present. And also check out very well if the cylinders are bled properly
Hello Bruno. Thank you for this video. I did similar manipulation about that node, reassemble, clean, lubricate with not oil grease and assembly. By the way I bled my clutch cylinder. After that manipulation I have a very good switch gear speed to speed. I'm owner AR 156 1.9 JTD mjet 16v 2003 2gen.
Thanks for this quick but very very precise video! You're a legend! I've been waiting for this since the clutch video you did last month. I was commenting that I'm going to swap my 5 gear to a 6 gear box on my JTDm 8V soon and you mentioned something about the gear lever or cables also needing to be swapped. is this necessary? As I understand from part numbers, everything is the same except for the gear knob. Thanks in advance! 🙏
Hello. The cables are not the same. The one that I repaired here in this one is not the same on 6 speed ones. On 6 speed it as adjustments. On 5 speeds it does not. Thanks for watching and for the support
Nice video, wish all problems were that easy to solve. My 156 V6 auto has a problem, you have to go from park to drive before you can engage reverse, and then after driving a while the geabox fault light comes on and it goes on limp mode, seond and forth gears only. It has been with a local Alfa specialist here in Sydney for 6 months, but he can't figure it out, do you have any ideas? I replaced the geabox, shifter cable and computer before I took it, but nothing makes any difference.
important video, thank you (!) ... you made a great video about that clutch spring under the clutch pedal. Do you know why the spring and that peace clamped to the foot floor falls off once and while? All parts like slavecylinder, pedal etc. are brandnew ... its the second time i found the spring on the foot-floor inside my 2L TS 156...
@@alfaromeonoproblem are there different spring assemblies? I bought a used one from a 156 Diesel and use it for my 156 2L TS Gasoline. I know Fiat and Lancia using same system, but slightly different, but i didn´t know there are different versions for 156 models. Bad, not having the possibility to show pictures 🙂
@dannydkasel8296 i haver e-mail and other things on the description. For 156 I think they are all the same. You bought a used one, maybe it's already broken and a bit short
A bit irrelevant to this matter but related to the gear shifter. Is it possible to align the gear lever inside the car? After a gearbox replacement my neutral sits where my 3rd gear position used to be and I would like to fix the alignment.

@laurentemelina7924 improbable. Remove the cables, put the gears by hand like it's showing on the video. And with the car in stands check the wheel speed
Hi Bruno, I am having some trouble with my 2.5 156. When the engine is off, I can put it into all gears and everything feels great. With the engine on it is very difficult to get into 1st gear. And 2nd is also tough. With the clutch down, if I go into 3rd and then 1st it goes in much easier. If I take it out of 1st into neutral and then straight back into 1st it works fine. Do you know what this could be? Its a new clutch and just started doing it after a few hundred miles. Thank you.
Hello. If the clutch is good quality and Valeo only, check out if the master and slave cylinders are not leaking. Try pumping the pedal to see if it's better
@@alfaromeonoproblem Thank you. Yes, Valeo clutch. No sign of leaks and reservoir is full. I tried pumping it but it doesn't improve. After a while of driving it improves slightly. Unusual problem.
Boas Bruno, questao rapida.. Eu tenho um 1.9JTD com caixa 6 e ao meter a Ré e vou andando a Ré ou marcha atrás salta e consigo ouvir um arranhar de caixa, como resolver?

@@alfaromeonoproblem I found and fixed the problem, it was the gear lever mount that was totally loose with 2 bolts missing. Fortunately it wasn't broken and it was a 20 cent fix. Thank you for replying, you are awesome. If I go to Portugal some day I'll buy you a beer!
@@alfaromeonoproblem I am having no luck. When the engine was warm, an hour or two after turning it off, I measured the oil level twice in a row and it showed the middle (2 out of 4 bars) both times.

Thank you very much for your support and for always being present
Nice video you should have more likes currently no issues with my gearbox but I will check those locking nuts are tightened up
Thank you very much! Yes, I'm struggling a bit here..
Thanks for watching!
I also always expect the worst outome, so it is nice when it turns out it is a small thing in the end.
It's true! Specially when the customer is already prepared for the worse..

@user-fb4pt6rw1s eu estou disponível para ver o carro
Thanks for the video. On my car the 1st is when the lever is in 5th and 2nd in 6. 3 and 4 and reverse are ok. Any idea of what is messed up?
Hello. What car is it?

BTW, should I measure the oil level when the engine is warm (like an hour after I turn it off) or when it is cold (after it had sat for the night)?
Hello. Ider One is good. Engine totally cold or totally hot
@@alfaromeonoproblem Thank you.

Some engines do that. The oil filter drains to the sump
Why do you say the engine is an 8-valve? All Alfa 156 Twin Spark and JTS engines are 16-valve.
This one is the JTD engine. ruclips.net/video/LQdEhvP4-ms/видео.htmlsi=FrBGf8s3qitTSEYU
