selespeed how strange
I have a 2001 alfa romeo 147 selespeed and for the past week it has been
doing strange things, when you engage gears whether in "city" mode, flick shift or paddle shift it jumps from 1st to 3rd and from 2nd to 4th but in 3rd, 4th & 5th it is fine no jumping of gear even on the down shifts but the moment you go into 1st or 2nd it jumps a gear? HELP? does anyone know why it might do this? What I love about the car is that usually if there is a problem it tells you with a warning or buzzer or something but with this it isn't doing anything it just jumps gears??? Any help or if anyone has experienced the same thing the input would be appreciated |

Same reason they buy Alfa's. |

selespeed how strange
I have 156 (redesigned) 2003 selespeed.
Before that I had also 156 2.0. selespeed, year 2000. So, this is my 6th year driving with selespeed gearbox and it works excellent! It is so fantastic gearbox that I don't want any other. I understand that some people have problems but it does not mean that selespeed is a wrong choice. It is like anything else; you may be lucky or not and it is not "so well documented"!
