still getting used to the car so maybe it's me but I seem to be fighting the gears (1st/reverse especially), gear stick seems sticky or notchy and it's almost as though I need to force the gear.

Could be that it just needs time to wear in but has anyone experienced this?

Sam, I have the same gearbox/engine but mine is nice and smooth, not notchy at all.

Might just be me, its hard to describe. For example if I put it into reverse its like the gear stops for a second and then I need to give it a nudge to get it to fully engage.

I couldn't for example put it into first or reverse using just my fingers.

That doesn't sound right to me, maybe it will get better but mine is the same now as it was when I got it. I would get it checked out.

Hi Sam

Just collected my 2008 this afternoon. Exact same spec as yours Sam. Have just driven home 40 miles from dealer.

I also felt the gears a bit notchy and stiff for my liking.

Hoping things will bed in, but will definitely be raising this if no improvement when it is due it's check over in 6-8 weeks time.

Only other minor grip was finding the boot had to be closed with some force to get it to shut properly.

Otherwise first impressions are very good.

My Boot was a bit like that. But appears to have improved. I guess it needed a bit of initial bedding in.

My gears are a little notchy but to be honest I think this is a characteristic of Peugeots as pretty much every small Peugeot I have had has been similar. I think the 6 speed box doesn't help. I find engaging 4th on a downshift can be tricky at times.

i have this same problem too actually -i am hoping it will just wear with age or i will mention it at service

Hello,

Has anyone notchy gear situation improved?

Thanks
Sam

1500 miles and not really

I have trouble sometimes with reverse when it's really cold in the mornings.It's slippery smooth compared to my last cars gearbox though, that was what you really called 'notchy'

 

[TrevorB]

I haven't exeprienced this at all. In fact I find it lovely to drive - gears are very smooth. But then I have the 92bhp 5 gear, which I believe is slightly different in operation?

I have the115 diesel with 6 speed box and have not experienced this at all. Gear change is smooth and precise.

 

[4l0]

Mines ok.The 308 i had was awful.So am really impressed with the 2008.Must stop over steering though

 

[danny149]

9000 miles and still no improvement. It actually popped out of gear the other day, will mention it when I take into service next few months

 

[sam]

Hi,

Mine is due for its 1000 mile inspection so going to mention it then, I often find that its reverse, 1st and second that feel the most "notchy".

Just out of interest why are you having a 1000 mile inspection - I cant see any reference to that in the service manual. Is this some thing particular to your dealer?

I thought this was just common practise? I didn't even ask, they just reminded me when I picked up the car to do that. They just make sure fluid levels are okay and everything is tight that should be and just check any niggles you might have found.
