Ok a family member has a stilo 2000 model hes had a few issues with reverse not selecting took it to a garage whilst visiting family up north

well few weeks later the problem was back took it to a local garage who said the other garage had put wrong size nut in something like and it had come loose so they retightened the nut no charge

now few weeks later he cant select no gears so i went over to have a look just to help out whilst he sat in the car moving the gear stick it was moving the parts and looked like its selecting but it looks to me like the bolt or some kid grub screw has fell out as theres no loose bolts as describe just a hole see pictures

now ive spent the last 2 hours searching for pictures to see if its meant to have a bolt in this hole but failed so went and took photos to post here to see if any of you guys could shed any light on the situation

if it does need bolt what size it it or what part is that called

thanks

hey as far as i know its a 2 litre desiel
as for feeling a thread in the hole not really its only about 6-8mm wide and cant seem to get a good look at it

tomorrow i might try get a better pic looking into the hole see if i can see a thread and i send him to fiat

thanks for taking the time to look for me tho

well went to a local garage where i take my car to be fixed with the picture as fiat was a good 10 miles away

he told me it needs a bolt that threads all the way through as theres a hole on the over side too with a nut and locking washer which he gave me for free went back fitted it works now lol

not bad seeing as one garage told him he needs a new gearbox and maybe a new clutch

anyway just thought i post this incase anyone in future has this issue its just a M6 bolt with a locking washer and a nut only thing i need to do was to cut it to the right length

cheers budd
