How to fatten the joints of the gear lever if the shifts are not smooth

Model: Fiat Panda 169, MK 2 - Years 2003-2012
Part: Shifter boot

In this video we can see how to grease the joints of the gear lever of a Fiat Panda 169, where the gears do not engage smoothly. Of course, it could be a problem caused by the gearbox oil, but before carrying out a more complex and expensive intervention, it is worth trying to see if it is just a matter of greasing and lubricating the gear lever joints. We can get the highest quality grease on Amazon with the code B00YUIG61K, priced at 29.00 euros for a one-liter jar, with free delivery. We remove the gear lever boot, and remove the screws holding the plastic frame; then there are two bolts on the sides and two torx screws on the sides of the console to remove. We will then have exposed the linkages, which we will grease carefully, moving them to ensure that every joint is properly greased. We reassemble the console and then put the boot back in place, after making sure that the lever moves perfectly and smoothly. Now the lever moves perfectly.

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?

To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
