Sounds like a problem with the syncro hub for 1st & 2nd gear. Unless Fiat have a known fault, it sounds like the syncro hub is worn and needs replaced. That may be costly as the gearbox will need removed and stripped down. Might be better getting a second hand gearbox. First I would make sure there are no obstructions on the linkage and that is stopping you properly engaging 1st & 2nd, it may be that a cable, hose or something is fouling the linkage. Ian
