Got my 75 back :-)
She's been away for a few days having the gearbox stripped and
rebuilt.... Work done: New diff. bearings Several other bearings also replaced Diff crownwheel and pinion replaced by better ones from a spare box I gave them to cannibalise Synchro rings replaced Linkage adjusted, lubricated. It's like I have a new car - so much so that I got her home and polished her. Looks like I'll have to start saving to have the bodywork done next. Although she doesn't look rusty, I'm scared of the thought of taking off any of the plastic ;-) Still, I'm a very happy Alfa driver tonight :-) -- Steve H 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' http://www.italiancar.co.uk - Honda VFR800 - MZ ETZ300 VW Golf GL Cabrio - Alfa 75 TS - Alfa 155 TS Lusso - COSOC KOTL BoTAFOT #87 - BoTAFOF #18 - MRO # - UKRMSBC #7 - Apostle #2 - YTC # |

Hi Steve H,
I'm happy for your "new" Alfa. I've got the same car, 1988's Alfa 75 2.0 T.S. These are true cars and they require the best maintenance to really enjoy them. I ask you a question. I don't have still understood if the gearbox of this car could work really well. After the jobs that do you have made, could you tell me if the manoeuvrability of the gear lever is now acceptable? I have only need to know that one day my gearbox will work to the best too. Thanks, Paolo Z.

It's very tight and a little obstructive to change now, but the throw between gears is a lot more precise and seems to be shorter than it was before. You still need to be slow and deliberate with the shifting, but it's probably better now that it was when it was new. -- Steve H 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' http://www.italiancar.co.uk - Honda VFR800 - MZ ETZ300 VW Golf GL Cabrio - Alfa 75 TS - Alfa 155 TS Lusso - COSOC KOTL BoTAFOT #87 - BoTAFOF #18 - MRO # - UKRMSBC #7 - Apostle #2 - YTC # |
