Gear Change

brandyman

I had same problem changed oil did work when warm and no rev ended up getting gear box rebuilt £400 well worth the money no problems now.
Refurbished in Glasgow (gearbox specialist)
 
Going to have a go with oil change, Found drain plug but where is the filler on a Citroen Relay 2.2 hdi please? Please dont say on top of the gearbox as this looks impossible to get at.
 
If it is the same as the Ducato box then there is no filler.

You remove the breather and fill through there. It is extremely difficult to get at on the Fiat.

If that is the case on a Renault then you need to find out the capacity of the gearbox and measure out that amount. Then get it all into the box.

Simples (I don`t think)
 
Thanks Maingate,
Nothing is simple, think i will forget about it for tonight and get p...ed
 
Have you got the Pergeot transverse engine? If so the gear linkages may need a little adjustment. I had this problem with my Talbot, the gears did all manner of strange things, like not wanting to get reverse and 5th gaer etc. I got new linkages and now all is well. One of the 3 links has an adjuster thread, so worth checking out. HTH.....Happy New Year!

I have a 2004 citreon 2.8 relay same happend to me it was gear linkage on top of gearbox put up on ramps and disconect from cable it is the selector cable you want get some one to move gear leaver from left to right you underneath you will see the cable that opperate the linkage I have had problems with peugeot fiat and citreon they are a letdown on all three vehicle same box if it is more serius you can get exchange box for £250.00 my local gararge would charge just under £500.00 all in which is excellent wolly
 
Slightly OT but still of relevance,

Is on all Seval product a inherent problem has always been issues with RHD conversion for the UK market. Bearing this in mind, the clutch cables on these machines are unique to the rhd market. On lhd models the transverse engine and gear box canter is practically in line for smooth change. and the clutch cable is a perhaps 18 inches in length.

Bearing all this in mind anyone venturing abroad as a spare it might well be worth carrying a clutch cable as part of your spares kit.?

Thanks for all replies. Travelled to Chester New Years Day and stayed over at Littlle Roodee Car park. I decided to change driving style as suggested and there was a definite improvement.
Not going into 5th gear so early, letting box warm up, changing down more on motorway. Didnt have problems engageing any gears, still not the smoothest box but seemed a lot better. I also sprayed all the crap off the linkage before setting off.
I am going to book into local garage to have oil changed as no idea where to put the bloody stuff.
Thanks to everyone again for all the help.
