    Dear all

    I have a 406 2.0 auto year 1997. I find that the gearbox when its shifting
    has a strange clunk noise for each gear. The box does this everytime and I
    was wondering if the box has be rebuild or replaced.

    Is this a common problem for auto boxes from Peugeot?

    Thanks!

    The ZF 4HP14 gearbox on my last 306 had gear change noise since new. The
    Peugeot dealer said it was normal until I changed the oil to fully synthetic
    transmission oil and the symptom disappeared.
    406 gearbox uses a semi-synthetic oil Esso LT71141. I was told it was filled
    for life but in the French ETAI manual, it is recommended to be changed
    every 60k kms.
    Hope this info helps.
