[Alfa] Selespeed problem resolved

Got response from one guy who successful solved Selespeed problem, probably this will help you also...

Hi,
I am the owner of a 2001 147 Selespeed bought on March 2002 with 746 km. For me the problems with the selespeed started 4 (four) days after I had the car in my hands: during the night. The car stopped 2 mt before a level crossing and only the reverse gear was working!!!! The day after, I contacted immediately the dealer and the answer was: "we never had problems with selespeed before"...... I became a great friend of the dealer cause every 4-500 km I was there with always the same problem: the gear slip into neutral and no more possibility to have any gear!!!!! After 5 times in the garage of my "FRIEND" (with almost no results), I decided to look for the ALFA Inspector of my zone and to ask him to do something, also because the car was still in the warranty period. I spoke also with some engineers in Pomigliano d'Arco (where the 147 is developed and build) and after a while (3 weeks) I had my car back and since then nothing of wrong happen. The information that I had from the Alfa's engineers about the problems of the 2002 selespeed were:

1) The cable connecting the actuator driver to the hydraulic pump was defective and was substituted (The problem of the cable is caused by the material which the cable is build!!!)

2) The software of 2001 was upgraded to the release of 2003.

Now I'm fully satisfied of the selespeed, but it was really hard to contact the right people capable to solve the problems of the gear.
