Alfa GT, 147, 156, GTV, etc. Gearbox Oil Change 5 Speed Manual

[@pietervandermerwe7454]

Thanks for the video. I noticed that the 6 speed manual jtdm is easier to drain and also have a dipstick to check gearbox oil level. Haven't seen it before on a manual gearbox.

[@arcgarage]

Yes, it is the same on some of the previous gearboxes found in Alfas

[@mrjourney5940]

Perfect video. Im about to do it this weekend. Thanks for sharing!

[@arcgarage]

Have fun, you're welcome...

[@vernehattingh2399]

Good videos! Lots of help with Alfa Romeos. Thank you

[@deramon1000]

Good guide. I always change the box oil when the timing belt is replaced as it's quite easy to do

[@arcgarage]

Thanks. It sure is

[@eziozomparelli2079]

And brake fluid.

[@MrOlcaymeral]

Very good solution to fill up the oil. Thank you for the excellent video.

[@arcgarage]

You are welcome, glad it is helpful...

[@Strike86]

I would recommend putting some blue Loctite or thread sealing paste (not tape) on the threads of the fill and drain plugs. I did this job on my GT JTS a year or two ago and had slight leaks before I put sealer on the plugs.

[@arcgarage]

You might have a damaged plug, it is usually not necessary if tightened properly...

[@mihovilcota8761]

Thank you very much. FYI, citroen nemo 1.3 hdi 2011 has the same gearbox. At least the drain and filler cap location is the same...

[@arcgarage]

Thanks for the info, then it is pretty much the same

[@zetormatic]

Great video, I recorded also for 156 just another gearbox.

[@arcgarage]

Nice...

[@АлександрКоваленко-р5н]

Always useful advices 👍

[@arcgarage]

Glad to hear that...

[@jyttesteenbruhn3211]

Easy to comprehend - thanks. Does this also apply for the GTV (916) V6 Turbo gearbox?

[@arcgarage]

It should be this gearbox kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHyTfnamj9qUppo

Thanks, man!

No problem!

Hey ARC, i’m experiencing a problem on my gearbox. When it rains, my gearbox is really hard to shift. When my engine starts warming up, it kinda dissapears. When it doesn’t rain, i am not experiencing it. Can you please help me?

[@johnson36herbalife]

super video

[@cabrae]

Are the screws in the same place no matter if it is the gasoline version (1.6 twin spark) or the diesel version (1.9jtd) in the 147 car model?

[@arcgarage]

Depending on the gearbox...

[@preyan213]

My 156 stopped going into 4th gear. There was no slipping or grinding before this happened. It just stopped going into 4th gear. All other gears are smooth with no issues. The gearlever will not even budge towards 4th gear. Any tips on what to look at? Most workshops I spoke to said that 4th gear broke and the gearbox will need to be stripped. Doubt that is the issue. This is a 2005 156 Sportwagon 2.0 TS. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

[@arcgarage]

It requires closer inspection, however, don't do anything before you check out the linkages, and make sure that the plastics beneath the lever are solid...

[@preyan213]

@@arcgarage thanks for the feedback. I am planning to get to the linkage that fits into the top of the gearbox over this weekend. I was advised to pull out the ball joint part that fits into the top of the gearbox and check if I can select 4th gear. If I still cant get 4th gear then it will means there is something wrong somewhere along the linkage and cables or the plastic bits under the gear lever. Now I just need to figure out how to best get to the point to where I can inspect the plastic bits. Finally got my first Alfa as a Christmas gift from my Wife last December so still finding my way around this beauty. Thanks again for your attentiveness to my questions. You are a star! Cheers, Preyan

I replaced the gearbox oil on 1.6ts with 75w90 but when outside is cold it’s hard to shift until is warmed, should i switch to 75w85?

[@arcgarage]

Yes, change it to the right spec

[@BIGDADDYTYRONE-et1ov]

Hello dies the alfa 147 also has a dipstick or di i need to use thus method for draining and filling?

[@arcgarage]

No dipstick

[@mrjourney5940]

Just to confirm, you can refill the oil from the reservoir in the engine too right? Also, is it possible to vacuum out the old oil via the reservoir outflow using a large pump?

[@arcgarage]

are you talking about power steering or gearbox oil?

[@mrjourney5940]

@@arcgarage gearbox. It might sound crazy haha but just wondering if it can be done without jacking up the car

[@arcgarage]

No you can't pump it out, and you have to add oil through the same spot I did in the video, but you can do it from above

[@ThePanagioti]

Hello my friend from alfa romeo 147 105hp what oil is better 75w80 or something else..?? I thank you 🇬🇷

[@arcgarage]

Use the one showed in the video

[@jal1797]

Hi,the manual on my alfa 1.6 eco engine says 75 w80.You use 75w 85 oil.Is there a difference?

[@arcgarage]

It is not that much of a difference, but use the one stated in the manual

Hi I've just replaced Slave cylinder on my Alfa 147 1.6 T. Spark and i have noticed that the transmission oil is leaking. What would be the problem?

[@arcgarage]

Did you take it apart to replace the cylinder? Issue could be the main seal, driveshaft seals, etc.

[@dumisaniali1400]

@@arcgarage Yes I took it apart.

[@arcgarage]

@@dumisaniali1400 If the main seal is bad it could be engine oil, where is it leaking from?

@@arcgarage thought atf usually applies for both steering fluid and transmission. The one in video is for manual, is it the same for automatic/manual selespeed?

Power steering can take atf in certain cases, but manuals can not. You basically have manual gearbox with attachment on top. Now manual uses the same oil, but selespeed unit uses another...

[@Ziad-ww6tw]

Doest it shift differently after the oil change? Does the shifter feel the same?

[@arcgarage]

It feels the same, this was preventative maintenance

[@iondilipovici479]

hi, I've got a question as well, how much oil you must have to do this for Alfa Romeo 147 1.6 2003? one litre is enough? thanks in advance

[@arcgarage]

If I remember right you need 2 liters
