Yes, the first problem appears when taking the car back home from the seller in Italy: the gear lever got stuck in reverse when I made 160 km from departure. A local garage mede an emergency repair and I put the car in a ferry in Genova to Barcelona; I made 120 km from the port of Barcelona to get home and then I decided to take engine and gearbox out together. I found that there were missing some bushes in the linkage system, so I ordered the parts. In enclosing some pics to illustrate.
The thing starts to complicate because, you know, the engine is there, looking at you provocatively, like asking: Do you want to have a look to see what I have ? And now here I am with the cylinder head off and the sump asking: What about me ?!
