#1: Gear change catching Author: mlambie, Location: stevenagePosted: Tue Apr 24, 2012 9:30 am ---- Hi i have a 206 sport 1.4... Had a gearbox oil leak for a while before i bought the car, had the seal repaired and now changing gears especially the first gear mainly catches and is difficult to get in at 2-3000 + revs. At low revs is nearly fine.
Any help would be appreciated.

Any other gearbox oil other than OEM (Total BV 75W80 non-synth) is a complete nightmare with MA box.
I have even used "PSA approved 75W80 Valvolene" and it was hopeless.
THE most important thing regarding the MA box is to put the exact oil specified by pug, and then it's perfect.
You'll see.

Ok I took it to the garage that repaired the gearbox oil leak seal... they said its not there problem and couldn't say what the probably was and they didn't touch the gearbox anyway????
Gonna take to peugeot monday, only had it a month and its a 2006 model.
#6: Re: Gear change catching Author: V9977, Location: Athens, GreecePosted: Thu Apr 26, 2012 3:21 am ---- How could a gearbox leak be fixed without touching the gearbox?
And how come you now have the EXACT behaviour of incorrect gearbox oil?
Just sayin'.
#7: Re: Gear change catching Author: mlambie, Location: stevenagePosted: Thu Apr 26, 2012 4:30 am ---- They put in 75 90.
Just a 'top up' they said. taking to peugeot on monday but am worried that i may do further damage driving as is?
#8: Re: Gear change catching Author: V9977, Location: Athens, GreecePosted: Thu Apr 26, 2012 6:02 am ---- No damage has or will occur.
But it's not enough to put any 75W80 in there.
It must be Total "BV" which is 75W80 non-synth and is what dealers are supposed to put in.
It was designed specificaly for the MA box and works perfectly with it.
Anything else and the synchro rings don't slip properly, either too much or too little.
Done that, then put Valvolene 75W80 for PSA only supossedly, and it was even worse.
I had to pray to put 1st gear every time. The rest of the gears I swore.
