Peugeot 107 - Gearbox Problem??

[jimmyV8]

I have been using my girlfriends 2005 107 this week as I am inbetween cars, however this morning half way into my commute it became a real challenge to engage gears 2 - 5. It will go into gear with some effort but there is some resistance and almost a slight crunch. If I match the revs when changing down to 4th it will not engage without grinding. The car has done nearly 40k miles mostly round town use until now. Could it be a worn clutch? Or maybe a synchro/selector issue? Gearboxes are always something I have taken a wide berth of, so I know very little about them. Any advice would be great.

Did you have any luck with this? My Wife's car has the same problem...

Sounds like it could be the clutch if the car has done mainly stop/start driving as you say 40k (have had 2 similiar instances with customers cars at my works) gears were crunchy, clutch was replaced and problem was solved hth

Clutch releae bearing go first? Happened on the GF's Aygo. Not a mechanic, but I believe you'll hear a clicking in neutral if it is the the release bearing.
