Thank you soo much. I have a 2013 that Fiat here in NZ my issue of not selecting neutral when I stop. I asked for Fiat here for a accelerator unit cost over $700 NZ or almost 350 pound. I found one at a wreckers for equiv 100 pound from a 65000km car. Worked perfectly!!!! Thanks again. great work.
Hi , I believe so yes, as there was someone else who had the reverse issue and they changed the pedal and it fixed it for them, it’s definitely worth trying this 👍🏽
@@Stevie_G8 for sure saved me some time. And if you think about the behavior that kinda' makes sense. The car "sees" that the acceleration pedal is not in idle position (which prevents gearbox from going to N) Also the engine rpm is not high enough to be noticed. In my case I had to press and release quickly the throttle pedal few times. Issue is gone now. Maybe some dust or dirt got inside the mechanical part. If this issue comes back, then I'll probably buy a new pedal. Cheers!
Thx informative. I haven’t had this problem but I had a one Time issue that my 500 didn’t want to turn over. It’s an automatic transmission and the tow truck driver put my car in neutral and it started up!!??! It’s never happened since. Had it checked out and no error codes were present? I’ll keep ur video in mind Incase it happens again. Thx
Hi Eliz, Thanks for your comment, It sounds like you just had a little computer glitch, the dualogic usually puts itself back into neutral when starting, sounds like this didn’t happen for you so it wouldn’t start but when put back there manually it lined everything back up again which is fantastic news :)
do i have the same problem? I have an Abarth semi-automatic. Lately the car automatically shifts to neutral while driving and I get the message (have your transmission checked). and sometimes it doesn't want to shift and sometimes it drives excellent. All oil has been replaced and there are no reports of malfunctions.
@@sefakilic8663 I’m not sure but the pedal does effect the transmission, I think there are other people with the same problem as you , look and see if there is a solution if not You could always try this and see what happens
@@faheemjacobs2123 it’s a fly by wire, its computer driven so as your foot goes down at certain revs it changes the gears the pedal determines those revs, if the adjustment point of the pedal is out of position then the revs is out of the neutral range so it won’t go into neutral, this can even effect going in reverse. Too many computers in modern cars these days.
I have a 2012 cluster is showing 1 , with visit dealership message and won’t move to anything else , stick moves but nothing changes , and car won’t start , any suggestion?
Without seeing what your shifter or looking at the issue it seems like I think more the plastic grommet from the top of the gearbox that joins to the cable has broken or come off, it’s another common fault,
I’m not sure if it is the same but it’s worth a try, I think there are other videos with the car going in neutral, might be a good idea to have a look at them, all the best
@@DericbI have the same problem! I’ll be driving and the transmission fluid light comes on (even though the level is where is should be) and the car goes into neutral and doesn’t drive or let me change into any gear….

I have problems with my fiat ducato diesel 3.0 2016 couldn’t get out of first gear open driver door also no priming pressure pump sound check all fuse and connect all perfect only have 1 fault code is P181079 on transmissions fault 😭
That’s fantastic news, Thank you for not only testing my theory but letting me know it does work, I bought one from the wrecking yard (breakers yard) this was obviously prior to seeing the slotted adjustment holes. Thanks again buddy for letting me know 👍🏽
I would try adjusting the pedal, obviously I wouldn’t know which direction to adjust but if it won’t start then you have nothing to lose to go one way or the other, please let me know how you go when you try it 👍🏽
@@wilco1v I changed my accelerator pedal and it solved it but as you can see in my video there is slotted screws on the box of the pedal, other people here have adjusted the box position with the slotted screw and it has fixed it for them,

My pleasure, I’m glad I could help, did you try adjusting it first?
Dualogic isn't great when it goes wrong, your video is very a helpful.
Thanks Mate, I have same problem. I pull out the pedal and do the adjustment in the screw and it works. I have fiat 500C.
Fantastic mate, I’m glad I could help in a way that you didn’t have to spend any money 👍🏽did you adjust by going clockwise or anticlockwise?
Hi Steve, i have same problem but on reverse gear....your theory solve my problem. Thanks a lot !

You absolute star! Saw this yesterday, son's car having same problem, got a replacement pedal and now it's all fixed!!! Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure, I’m so glad I can help, Thank you for commenting, it’s good to know that my video has helped people 👍🏽

One can see that the screws up.left and down.right are moved a bit out of their original position. That makes the difference.
Correct Willem the smallest amount can make a big difference 👍🏽
I don't understand how does adjusting the pedal can fix the problem?

Same problem here, seems when the car is not in working temperature and goes to 5th gear, it will slip into neutral
I have problems with my fiat ducato diesel 3.0 2016 couldn’t get out of first gear open driver door also no priming pressure pump sound check all fuse and connect all perfect only have 1 fault code is P181079 on transmissions fault 😭
I’m sorry I can’t help you on this
My car will start and is In neutral but when I select gear 1 auto it says unavailable and have to keep restarting car ? Any ideas
Yes I think this is the pedal issue
Why not test the theory, all it takes is moving the cable back and forth between the new and old accelerator
I didn’t want to unfix something I’ve already fix, if someone still has their one broken then they have nothing to lose trying it
Hi Anthony, just to let you know that someone has tested my theory and it does work, I hope this does help you
Thanks
Steve
IF HAVE PROBLEM MOVE TO R
CHANGE PADL FIX IT ?
Yes it should, but you may be able to just adjust it instead of change it
Hi guys any feedback on this theory?
Hi Etech, yes if you read down on the comments someone tested it and it did work 👍🏽
Thanks for your video, I have the same problem. I will try your theory. any news I will tell you
That’ll be great, if the adjustment doesn’t work at least you know you can just change the pedal 👍🏽
@@Stevie_G8 it works!! Thanks a lot. Btw where did you buy the pedal? I can't get one new.
That’s fantastic news, Thank you for not only testing my theory but letting me know it does work, I bought one from the wrecking yard (breakers yard) this was obviously prior to seeing the slotted adjustment holes.
Thanks again buddy for letting me know 👍🏽
Btw did you adjust going clockwise or counterclockwise?
@@anticuzzsaw can you please give some info on how to adjust it? I'm having the same problem with not able going into neutral... thanks alot
Having same problem . It stuck on 1st gear. And motor don’t start

Just replaced this part and no different grrr. We have an abarth which won’t go into neutral. What a pain
Have you tried adjusting it?
@@Stevie_G8 the screws just release the acceleration sensor.

Bad automatic transmission, is a cheap system, not to trust
I’m not saying it’s a good or bad transmission but this is a way of fixing it if you have one
Actually it is a "robot" hydro/electric shifting system leased from Ford.
And it is mounted on top of the standard Fiat gearbox.
