Peugeot 206 gears being a bit French
Discussion
Hi
I have a 2004 Peugeot 206 1.4i
Not so long ago first gear would just not react at all, the gear stick itself has not gone floppy - it's like the gears just weren't there. But then after 3 or 4 attempts, they would go in and just continue as normal(?).
So I got it looked at and as I thought it was a slipping clutch - so got a new one fitted.
However, today the same thing happened with the gear not going in, but try 3 or 4 times and it's there as normal and the car drives as it should.
2nd is pretty rough to go in but all the other gears are ok - it's very bizarre.
Is it a linkage and gear oil thing? I've read that you have to use really specific gear oil.
If anyone can help that would be great. Just want to get it sorted asap so I can flog it, it's a perfectly clean pug all round this is such an annoyance.
