I have a LOT of sideways movement whilst in 3rd and 4th gear, it's almost as if the gate is a couple of times the normal size. My local Alfa Dealership said the linkages needed taking out, stripping down relubing and rebuilding, nearly £300s worth of work (their quote). Another garage said it was fine, so whod o you believe? It doesn't seem to be detrimental to the drive other than sometimes it can be a bit sticky in 3rd and 4th gear i.e wont go into gear.

I only bought the car recently and test drove quite a few and they all seem to have a comparitively sloppy gearchange to other cars i've driven so I figured its a characteristic of the car. If this is a bad assumption I would appreciate someone letting me know.

Cheers

Sean
