not sure tbh, im sure someone will give you the right answer lolbut when i changed my GB oil when i changed the GB mount it was very stiff / hard to get in gear for a while, especially when cold, after about 4 weeks its now better than ever... ________________________________________  Ex-Black 6  - Speed has never killed anyone, suddenly becoming stationary...

is the clutch biting point still in the same place?I bet they have used the wrong grade oil, pug synchros do not like anything but the correct grade, total amongst a few do an oil specifically for peugeot gearboxes, ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Going to be the oil. With it being a little colder now it will start to show it more. Really cold days and it'll be very hard to get into gear.Get the proper stuff from Peugeot to sort it out - they are very sensitive to it. ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

2.1L it says in the book, doubt you'll need more than the 2.0 they'll sell you for about ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
