Gearbox Overhaul — general information (Peugeot Partner I)

1. Overhaul of a manual transmission is a difficult and very complex job to do on your own. In addition to the need to disassemble the unit with the removal of many small parts and subsequent assembly, it will be necessary to accurately measure the gaps and, if necessary, adjust them by selecting adjusting shims and spacers. Additionally, internal transmission components are often very difficult to obtain and in many cases extremely expensive. Therefore, if your transmission develops a fault or starts making noise, your best course of action is to take the unit in need of a major overhaul to a specialist or exchange it for a refurbished one.

2. But for a more experienced mechanic, repairing the gearbox is not so difficult, especially with the help of special tools. You should work thoughtfully and gradually, so as not to miss anything.

3. The list of tools required for a major overhaul includes pliers for removing and installing internal and external retaining rings, bearing pullers, an impact puller, a set of fine-tipped drift punches, a dial indicator and, if possible, a hydraulic press. You will also need a heavy duty workbench and a vice.

4. When disassembling, make notes on how each element is installed. This will make assembly easier and more accurate.

5. Before disassembling, it would be a good idea to think about which specific area of the gearbox is malfunctioning. Some issues may be specific to specific areas. This will make it easier to inspect and replace the element. For more information, please contact "Troubleshooting".
