[Peugeot-L] 405 DL BE1/5 reverse selector cable

From: p404c <tippett_at_shaw.ca>

I topped up my somewhat leaky 45 gearbox with 0.3 L of 80W90 synthetic today and also cleaned off the gunk so I can trace the leak.....I think it's coming from the LH driveshaft seal.

Anyway....So that is done, and then I back the car out of the driveway into our street....but selecting reverse doesn't require the pull-up collar on the gearshift to be used, the car just slips into reverse. I should add that all I did was top up the oil and clean off the grease from the bottom of the transaxle case, not mess around with the reverse selector cable.

So now it's like the cable is always engaged and selecting first gear is tricky. In all other respects the gear selection is normal.

Is the cable broken, or am I missing something here? And why would it happen on the day I choose to top up the oil level?

Thanks
