The manual shifter is very difficult to engage in reverse, 1st and second gear. I was told by Fiat that the reverse gear is a quirk of the car and there is no solution. This 1 &2 shifting problem is intermittent and happens while driving in traffic from a complete stop. The dealership stated the gears were difficult due to the clutch and needed replacement. My car has 12,400 miles and the clutch was not covered and I paid for the replacement. I was shocked that my clutch needed replacement at 12,000 miles! I contacted the manufacture about the defect, but Fiat agreed that I had to pay for the replacement of the clutch. After the repair, the car has the same problem with the gears. I don't believe that clutch needed replacement, the car has a defect.
