Over the last week or so my peugeot is getting more difficult to select 1st and 2nd gear, sometimes i have to pull away in 2nd gear and am able to select 3rd-4th-5th gear ok and sometimes can slip it into 1st ok.. is this the gearbox or the clutch going as my clutch is a little lighter than it used to be ?? please help
If the clutch is a problem you will have difficulty selecting 1st only as the gears would be spinning from the engine revs.. I would say that the front input shaft (clutch shaft) bearing is failing allowing miss alignment of the synchros and not allowing proper engagement of the gears synchro rings. It means removal and repair to the gear box so the clutch can be inspected while the box is out.
SOURCE: my ford focus tdi 2003 cant select 1st,3rd or 5th gears.
Car is in limp in mode unless you have the tools to work on automatic transmission you will need to take it to a transmission shop. Of course you can check oil level but I suspect you have other issues.
