Hi I love my Alfa, but am no mechanic. I had issues last year with gear selection, after lots of $ at the auto electrician via the mechanic the brushes were replaced - I wasn't getting any error messages - fixed! Now I am getting the message "Selespeed System Failure", occaisionally while driving the car goes from gears into neutral, then I stop select 1st and drive off (while every 20 seconds or so the dash reports the error and beeps. Have also noticed there is a delay with gear changes. The gears have been graunching when going from 2nd-3rd and 3rd-4th - mechanic said it needs a new gearbox. The mechanic has plugged in diagnostics and wants to take it back to the auto electrician - for the Selespeed fault. I would so appreciate some advice from people in the know , so I can get my car fixed without having to replace unnecessary things as I feel that they aren't too sure themselves - but pretty scarce to find a mechanic who knows anything about Alfa's where I am. Cheers
