The following instructions are specifically about how to change the gearbox oil or a Peugeot Citroлn with a so-called 5 BE4 gearbox, but gearboxes usually all individually equipped with any type or brand can be reloaded using the same procedure Keep the manufacturer recommended oil type in mind that since this is not always the same.
This is useful for people who want to go against the manufacturer's recommendation never change at all, you can ask your dealer to do it for you, but it is not difficult at all to you.
First something about the gearbox oil, an extract of an article I wrote before, called How to treat the gearbox You will need to be a subscriber, however.
Very few manufacturers recommend an oil change for their gearboxes to all; they simply declare that its oil will last for the lifetime of the car.
Why I do not know, because he's always wearing synchronizer, where debris feeds in seals; water can enter through the vent on top, and there is always the leakage along the joints of the drive axle and between the gearbox shells and a half.
Leakage is the largest gearbox killer because there are only a few liters there to begin with, and a leak of only a few drops per day for several years will be enough to prevent the transmission to continue to function properly.
So check the level - or to control - every engine oil change Don t listen to the sealed guarantees of life manufacturers, professionals or people who think they know.
A gearbox oil change that normally costs Ђ100 max AU160 is the dealer must make every 60-100.000 km Keep at least the recommended grade indicated in the manual, but a full synthetic known brand is better stick to the types normal oil, not friction reducing crap same thing just does not add-ons.
The PTFE used in e.g. Slick50 causes metal debris to float continuously around in oil instead of being caught by the magnet mounted in each transmission which is either at the end of the drain plug, or mounted in the gearbox itself over a worn box can not be set by add-ons which he simply needs an overhaul.
Check Slick50 and law-suit in Google if you do not believe me t.
1 Take a drive to warm the transmission oil at 60-70 degrees centigrade This will allow the oil drain faster.
While the car's still on his feet, loosen the bolts of the left front wheel of a Jack turn the car to the bar clamp stabilizer.
