#1: gear problems please help Author: bluepetal, Posted: Mon Jul 01, 2013 4:53 pm ---- I brought my 206 not long ago and since having it I have started having problems with the gears.
I can select reverse and not move a couple of times then it will go into place and I can reverse, the other gears also clunk into place sometimes and im worried that my gearbox is on its way out and im going to end up broke down on the side of the road.
please tell me this is a easy and cheap fix as I really cant afford to spend out after such a short time owning it

Are you getting smooth gear changing, up and down the box when driving in general.
#5: Re: gear problems please help Author: bluepetal, Posted: Mon Jul 01, 2013 6:56 pm ---- the clutch seems fine, but it does crunch into gear most times i change up and down

#7: Re: gear problems please help Author: eddie206, Posted: Tue Jul 02, 2013 9:04 am ---- Get someone with a bit of know how to have a drive in it and follow what they say..or better still get them to post on here for you or with you...
Just a quick tip to help with gear selection...
With the car running go for reverse as normal and as soon as the problem that the gear wont go in pops up try this...
The car wont go into reverse so put it back in neutral then let the clutch off in neutral and rev the engine quickly(just a quick blip of the throttle/accelerator will do)then press the clutch pedal right down again then go for the gear again...you should find the reverse gear easy to select now,even if u need to repeat it once or twice this is the way to select reverse if its being aukward...just do this every time it wont go into gear...
As for any other problems if they still persist get someone to test it like i said above and post what they say and go from that...

As mentioned, sounds like they're either broken or popped off.
