What oil did you put in? These boxes tend to be a bit fussy about gearbox oil, if you used something else it's probably worth draining and refilling with the recommended fluid.

Direct from Peugeot is cheap enough to not worry about buying elsewhere

It's Total 75W-80 you want for PSA boxes.
Not sure what Pug want, but I tend to order a few litres at a time ( I have 3 Peugeots) from

Honestly i would drain it and bang in some total BV 75w-80. I don't know why but these boxes seem to run shite on anything but that. Ive never seen a explanation as to why but i think just about every regular member on here has experienced it them selves so too much of a coincidence!

Have you removed the spring on the clutch pedal? Does sound like clutch problems.
