reverse gear
« on: May 21, 2016, 03:49:05 PM »
silly question i know but where is reverse gear on a 126?  :$

been checking everything on my MCA which is based on a 1979 126

anyway can get all 4 gears but struggling to find reverse, if the gear knob is original it says reverse is next to 4th, do i have to push the gear stick down or something as i keep just engaging 4th gear whatever i do

Push the gear stick down and move back towards 4th gear, if it struggles to engage a trick you can try is to run it through all the other gears first and it should then be okay. Unless it is broken...

well i cant seem to find reverse, i know where it should be now but it engages 4th instead.....

according to the haynes manual i need to adjust the gearshift linkage if its difficult to engage any of the gears, will have a go

There are some rubber bushes that you can fit, very cheap but make a big difference if you are having difficulty finding the right gear...

Hello
I am new to this forum
fiat 126p is known to me because I studied at these beautiful cars to car mechanic and I know them very well.
My advice is to start with teeth make sure the two parts are in some
1 connection gear box. It is not loose and in one piece
2 Mount gear box are in one piece and regulation is well.
adds pictures like these parts they look
sorry for my spelling.
thanks
