Check the clutch pressure plate and throwout bearing sounds like they need to be replaced high and low spots in pressure plate is causing the bucking

Testimonial: "Thank you for the answer. I also was was told it could be the syncro gears are worn. I'M going to shop around for a good mecanic that works on clutch and gears. I hope it will not cost to much to repair. Would anyone know a good mecanic in Montreal or in the area. It would be apreciated."

SOURCE: Headlight adjustment Alfa Romeo Spider 1975

Look in the headlight ring for 2 small cut outs 1 on the side 1 on the bottom insert a Phillips head screw driver in the opening to the set screw and tighten or loosen screw to adjust. You might want to park nose in to a wall and turn headlamps on to check as you work.

I have a 1987 Alfa Romeo Veloce Spider, that is getting a large amount of motor oil in the antifreeze, what would be the most common cause of this?

I'd say definitely head gasket, oil in water, not good! As a fellow Alfa owner, good luck as it won't be a cheap fix.

Where might I get an 85 alfa romeo spider wiring diagram?

There is a user, papajam, from alfabb.com who has created comprehensive color wiring diagrams (colors match the wire colors) for many Alfas. He offers car-specific PDF files for free to people who contact him. You can reach him at [email protected] .
I got the diagrams for my 1987 Spider and they are excellent.

I grew up in Woodstock, Ontario, many decades ago

Montreal is real nice

Went to EXPO there in 1967

The answer is yes-- IF-- you have the tools & vehicle
repair knowledge

In the US the labor is about $100.00 an hour,SO,maybe
pay someone, if you haven't done that type work before

The trans break down may be your big issue

experience with Alfa

1987 alfa romeo spider jerks on first and second ,when shifting. 3rd ,4th, and fifth work very well.

sounds like the syncro- gears are worn, as age of vehicle and these are the gears most used , as all else seems fine , gearbox repair needed
