swapping my engine from a 1.1 to 1.6 this week. but this helped me a lot! couldn't figure out how to remove the driveshafts the easy way. Thanks a lot!

Very helpful video for me, changed the gearbox, clutch, driveshafts and all seals with the help of this vid for my gti. The big pain was getting the gearbox back on the car, a very tight fit! Thanks man.

The gearbox is a bit of bugger to get back on, dont know does the release bearing click into place on the 1.6? On the 1.1 here it had a habbit of falling off which made it trickier, and not doing the job on a lift just made it a real ackward pain.

+peugeotCitroen2CV Its a great little car and was well worth the work. The release bearing clipped on to the fork but it still fell off a couple of times whilst wrestling with the gearbox so i tied a bungee cord on to the clutch arm to stop it moving too much. I have no lift myself but used a engine crane to hold the gearbox up while i manhandled it on. Tricky but i'm very happy with the result. Cheers again man.

Thank you for this detailed video 👍

I changed the clutch on a 1.1 206 recently. There is an easier way to get those ball joints on and off; get a long L shaped lever, tie a chain around the wishbone arm with the lever slotted through, then pivot it off the engine or sub-frame. Pops right out and makes it easy to put back in again. I actually used an engine hoist support beam as a lever, but I think you can buy a lever specifically for the job. Also, I didn't bother removing the driver-side driveshaft (mainly out of laziness) but I was able to get the box back on with a bit of wiggling.

I'm using this video when I replace my 106's gearbox tomorrow and Thursday! Thanks for the clear instructions!

I find getting the gearbox back in to be the trickiest part of clutch jobs especially when working on the floor. The lower arms are tricky to remove on the saxo/106 but even worse going back in. Nonetheless great to hear you got your car sorted.

very useful video, if the clutch on my saxo is biting very high does it mean that it is about to go? I've read that they normally do bite quite high but it seems to be almost as I've released the clutch when it bites

Phew looks such complexity, well done for sharing what has to be done, mine got to be done on my 206, not looking forward to new clutch, be so sensitive I bound to be stalling till it eases

When I did mine with my brother, we took off the thrust bearing arm and made sure it was de rusted with a brush etc and greased , so the clutch operation was ultimately silky smooth. Also helps to wire brush the spline shaft too. Oh and if your doing this job just replace the gear box linkages while your at it, saves hassle as they come off anyway while your doing this job, unless they've been done recent, they only cost about £20 for a really decent set and will make gear changing more new car feely!! :)

I don't think it needs to come out. I would advise buying a haynes manual for the C2 and look at the section detailing the gearbox removal. Same goes for the gearbox, not 100% sure but it should be round the differential or side of it, it will look different to the other bolts, usually you can see the copper washer and indented shape for the sump plug key.

Very nice tutorial, but my problem is at putting the gearbox back to car. Ιn what way did this?it's too heavy

@peugeotCitroen2CV

8 жыл бұрын

It took quite a bit of time and lots of expletives, basically i had to lie on the floor and push the gearbox up to the engine level then across into place. Heavy for sure, it was quite difficult, though someone with stronger arms may find it a doddle. I got someone to stand above the car with a rope to hold the gearbox at the right height while i pushed it towards the engine. Which made it slightly easier. Its why with the subaru forester and 406 clutches, which i did after this i opted to change them on the lift and use a transmission jack.

Good Day, Just used the video alongside a Heyenes manual. Thanks for the video. I did ýour method of popping out the axles. It worked like a charm. However at the point of putting back in I noticed one "wheel" was one straighish and the other turned some 10 - 15 degrees to the right. I thought they'd be locked in position. Any ideas how this happened and how to remedy?

Thanks for this. Potentially looking to do a gearbox change on my 1.1 mk2. I pulled away from a stop and as soon as I hit second gear the car stalled. It started back up again but I noticed it was making clunking/rattling sounds (almost like major engine bearings had gone). Can't remember whether I had the clutch pedal pressed in or not sadly. It still seems to make a nasty noise when the clutch pedal isn't pressed in but it goes away when pressed in. I know for a fact when I accelerate at low RPMs there's a nasty but subtle grinding noise coming from the engine/gearbox area. That noise either goes away at higher RPMs or is not noticeable due to engine noise. Is it worth just driving it until the gearbox dies or will it give out completely and leave me stranded? Any ideas whether or not this sounds like it might be the engine itself? It started back up straight away after it and that knocking/rattling sound seems to have gone now. Pleeeease cheap little Peugeot just last me sixxxxx months.

I bought it fairly recently for a good price but the service history is pretty poor. Gave it a good service following your video as soon as I got it (thanks for that btw).

Nice video. Question though - if the clutch cable was to be "wrongly" adjusted, meaning the clutch would engage a bit higher, that would in worst case eat up the clutch disc earlier. It shouldn't do any harm to the release bearing should it ? I've started to hear a rattle when the clutch is disengaged (released) but stops when i engage it. I think that also the cable is not correctly adjusted and that's why the clutch engages a bit higher (meaning the clutch pedal). The clutch was done about 30k km ago.

+Kaktus Jack If it was too tight then it would have the same effect of "riding the clutch" ie keeping your foot rested down on the pedal, it could cause the release bearing to wear out quicker, and slippage quicker as the clutch might not be able to fully engage. On the other hand if it was too loose then you have to press down much further to get it to engage.

Hello, great video. Yesterday my Peugeot 106 from '94 had the same problem. I heard a grinding sound the last days. Yesterday i just couldn't put in any gear anymore..... and there was smoke.....

It really is a great video. And there is another question. I heard that switching gears early is a good think, because it safes fuel. Is it wrong? Does that mean that you damage your clutch?

@peugeotCitroen2CV

Hi there Grinding is a serious problem, the clutch can go bad without any grinding the car just gradually looses drive as the clutch plate wears down. Although grinding may occur if the clutch is unable to disengage meaning the gearbox is essentially trying to get into gear without the clutch pressed down. If its grinding when the car is driving and in gear however then consider the possibility that a new gearbox may be required. However yes this is definitely a job that could be attempted DIY, provided you have the tools. Changing up early to save fuel, its how taxi drivers would drive, put the car into 5th gear as soon as possible and let it lug on. It can cause the clutch to wear faster. Its more suited to diesels where the torque is available at lower revs. On a TU petrol 106 if you are driving it properly it should be bouncing off the rev limiter before a gearchange haha.

@@peugeotCitroen2CV Wow thank you for the very detailed answer! I will try to find a solution, because the tools are a actually a problem. The grinding was only hearable, when a gear was in. For example if the first gear was in you could clearly hear the grinding. That is of course understandable, because the engine is not very loud. But as soon as i put in the first gear and released the clutch, the grinding sound disappeared.... Don't know what that exactly means, but i don't think, that the clutch was unable to disengage. SO maybe the gearbox is ok?! But unfortunatelly i really have a tool and space problem to solve this issue..... I will see, if i can find anyone, who is willing to help me with this, because i really don't want to loose the car.
