Introduction
The M32 gearbox is used in several Alfa Romeo models, including the MiTo, and is known to have issues.
Affected Models
The 155 bhp Tjet and early 1.6 JTD diesel versions of the MiTo are affected by the M32 gearbox issues.
Common Issues
The M32 gearbox is prone to problems such as whining in 5th/6th gear, crunching gears, and loss of gears.
These issues are often caused by wear on the 5th/6th output shaft bearing and can lead to catastrophic failure of the gearbox.
Maintenance and Repair
Regular maintenance and servicing are key to preventing these issues.
Repairing or rebuilding the gearbox is possible, but the cost depends on the extent of the damage.
Specialists can quote prices ranging from £350 to £900 for replacement bearing and gear kits.
