FW: Parts for fixing Milano shift mechanism

["Schilt, Bart" <bschilt@xxxxxxxx>]

> Hello,
> 
> The operation of my shift-stick of my 88 Milano Verde is not as crisp as I
> would like. Especially if I compare it with my '61 Giulietta Spider. When
> in a gear the shift-stick is loose and can be turned in a small circle.
> Shifting from first to second is slow (not too good if you want to compete
> with a Porsche)
> 
> There have been several messages in the past about fixing this. On the
> GTV6 - Alfa digest clippings is an extensive discussion on shifter rattle.
> (www.gtv6.org/cl_gear.htm). I wonder if someone has an update on that. But
> most important, can someone indicate exactly what parts to replace and
> where to get those? It sounds like a set of $5 parts and, before I climb
> under the car and remove the exhaust, it would be helpful to have a
> complete set of parts to replace / check.
> 
> Also I have seen a "Quick Shift" set ($40 + exchange or $100) for sale at
> Alfa Heaven. Anybody got good/bad experience with that?
> 
> Look forward to your response.
