Hi Guys
Help needed please with regard to fifth gear problem.
I recently had and MOT and full service done on my Peugeot Boxer Autocruise Starblazer. At first driving after the service I had a big problem getting into reverse gear, but now this has cured itself and is not a problem anymore. I think because the oil was changed it may have needed to work around the engine. However I took the van out on a few drives along the coast this week and occasionally I have been having a problem with fifth gear.
Earlier in the week started thuding occasionally when selecting fifth after driving for about 30mins (I put this down to my driving initially) , then later after doing about 80 miles I couldn't select fifth at all.
So I stopped and turned the engine off then stated it again and tried to select fifth again and it was working fine.
A little while later same problem.
Second drive everything seemed to be fine. Selecting 1,2,3,4,and 5 worked smoothly and drove for about 1 hour. Next morning set off home fifth gear worked fine, but 5 miles from home couldn't select fifth again. Stopped the engine, started the engine, fifth gear easy to select again.
Only starts to happen after a long drive and I am stumped. I am going to phone the service garage but thought you guys will probably give me some insight before I call so I am forearmed.
I know there are issues with fifth gear on some vehicles but any help or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Gary
