Gearbox problem on 147?

[Felleas]

hello everybody,need some help for my 147 1.6 after 50.000 km.
When shifting from 2nd to 3rd i feel and hear a short grinding sound.I have changed the clutch on 25000km because was problemmatic and ive replaced the Valvolines (gearbox oil) on 40.000 km.
I'm desperate since i think that the gearbox starts to fail allthough i have no problem yet shifting.
I have heard that the 147 gearbox has problems espesially with the 3rd gear and i've read in an article in greek AutoMoto und Sport magazine which drove a 147 in a track for 24 hours that the 3rd gear failed!!!
Need your opinions on the problem.
Thanks in advance

Hi Felleas,
I had the same problem, I’ve gone to my Alfa service and they change under the warranty the 2 or 3 gear wheel. (I don’t know the name)!?
