The gear selectors have to be removed from the box to get the box out
it is possible that the selector area was not properly adjusted after installation of the box
you may be able to see the problem using a friend to shift the gears ( stationary -engine off) while you look at the selector movements --3rd gear will not select easily
the garage that did the job is a fault here as they haven't done the job properly or tested the car after the job to fix faults before you took it back
if you have to , take it to an accredited professional transmission service center for a diagnosis and quote
there will be nothing wrong with the box just the selector system

SOURCE: Fiat Punto indicators

you need to change the flasher unit .... also check fuse # 24 on the fuse panel inside the vehicle. the flasher unit should be just under the dash on the steering wheel side... i have alot of information on that vehicle but i couldn't find where exactly the flasher unit is located.

Fiat punto y reg, my front wipers seem to judder in return and I get a electrical shorting noise from the dash board. Can any one please help?

Judder is due to dried out rubber blades which need to be replaced.
Shorting noise need to be traced, look at the wires and find where it is cut and (Grounding out) to the metal body. Not shorting to another wire. .

Fiat 500 problems

Low transmission fluid. Manual gearboxes normally use gear oil, automatics use transmisison fluid. Sill could be a bearing, just not a wheel bearing. Just curious, how can you tell its not a wheel bearing?

Fiat punto s60 wont go into gear after bleeding brakes and clutch

Well it's sounds like to me that the grinding sound you hear is throwout bearing, and as far as no clutch, if you don't have no clutch pedal what I mean is it don't feel lime it used to that is your slave cylinder, it needs replaced, usually when they go out they just go, don't give no warning

1998 automatic fiat punto

another factor that could affect your problem is the hydrolic fluid. there is a valve body inside the gearbox which controlls the gears. so lets say the vavle that controlls first gear dont open then the hydrolic fluid wont activate first gear. i think when u revv the engine it is increasing the hydrolic pressure which is aiding the vavle to open. the problem could be in the valve controll modual.
