Squeking sound when changing gear

Hi NG,
I have a 306 2.0 HDI from year 2000. I happy about the fantastic car but
during the past couple of months a squeking sound is anoying me a bit. I
happens when I change gear from 2. or 4. gear. The sound seems to come from
just below the gear lever.

Anyone any idea what causing the sound? I recon it could be some
fitting/sleeve when translating the gear level movement from vertical to
horizontal underneath the bottom of the car.

Regards

Can you spray down the shaft? if so it might be a nylon bush drying
up.or a rubber bush, try and have a look under the shaft cover and
spray wd40 round it all..

 

HI I had the same squeek as you ,but in a 2ltr 406and the problem was the
sealing ring on the exhaust manufold that holds the front pipe air
tight,it had been assembled dry,it should have been assembled using a bit
of high melting piont grease,when i did this it cured my problem squeek,i
hope this helps somebody

 

Thanx for your help,
I think I can live with the sound another month and have a look at it when
the weather get a bit warmer. We have had a snow storm her in DK a week
ago...
