Gearbox or clutch fluid replacement?

[Parrot Face]

Had some work done at local garage and they recommended gearbox oil change which they couldn't do as it requires special equipment. Rong local fiat professional and they sounded bemused by my request stating they do clutch fluid replacement but gear oil change isn't something they do. Sounds like they don't see it as a requirement.????

Had the gearbox oil changed on my 2014 Boxer (Ford engine apparently). Got rid of a slight crunch going in to first and is, I think, a little quieter. Done without issue by a local garage who do a lot of Moho work.

Is it a comfortmatic?

What vehicle is it? Fiat is allegedly oil for life!

I changed ours at 10 years old, drained then refilled through the breather at the top.

Hydraulic clutch fluid should be changed every 2 years. Fiat should do that at 2 year service. It's in the handbook under servicing. Gearbox is the same as a manual.

Do a search for Comformatic failure. Theres 352 threads and 52,847 posts, approximately.

It's finding a Fiat garage to do it! Many funsters end up at Adams Morey Portsmouth.

Comfortmatic Fluid Changes

I use a busy local mechanic who I trust to do cambelt changes etc, I know he doesn’t see many comfortmatic systems though and I want my fluids changed. Are the fluid changes easy enough for competent independent mechanics or is it something that should be left to Fiat Professionals familiar...
