Crunchie 1st gear - DavidG - 24-10-2012
Hello there!
Iv got a 2000 XSi and 1st gear is crunchie feeling when i put it in gear, reverse sometimes doesnt go in 1st time... basicly i have an insue getting it in
Is it something on pugs of that age as my gf's 106 is the same. I fitted zinc plated steel linkage rods and tweeked them so all the other gears feel smoth as a smoth thing. But what ever i do 1st is still as lumpy as a nans arse.

I changed the gearbox oil when i got it cant remember what i put in but it wasnt pug specific. would that actualy make a difference then?

I know if you put non genuine pug oil in it can nacker the box up and makes it hard to get into gear i know this as i done it on my gti6. Im sure other members will confirm it aswell its only cheap to buy the genuine pug oil i would take a trip to your local peugeot garage and buy the genuine oil and change it and see if it cures the problem
