In front of the firewall under the exhaust manifold is where most of the shifetr stuff is
There is a pivot shaft to change the motion from inline with the car to crossways
This 3" shaft rotates a bit in a metal tube taht has plastic bushings
They seize up especially as they get heated by the exhaust
There is an aluminum cap on top of the 22 mm nut that holds it all together
It is a bitch to get at you can barely see it from the top
sometimes I can get a flex socket on it
Last time I had one out a few months ago
I welded a nut on the tube drilled it tapped it and screwed in a grease nipple
Shifts like silk now
You may well need new plastic bushings
But you can loosen the nut a bit and start squirting WD40 at it
Good luck
Bob

Subject: [Peugeot-L] 405 Mi16 Transmission problem
Hello, it has been a while since I posted, but I'm stumped.
After sitting for 6 weeks due to a catalytic problem, my transmission is shifting very hard and
baulky after it heats up. Cold it is not quite normal, still a little baulky, but not a problem. It
seems to take about 15 minutes until the gear changes take a turn for the worst.
I have replaced the transmission fluid with Red Line MTL but nothing has changed.
Any suggestions?
