Gearbox

Hi ive got a Peugeot boxer symphony 1997 1900 cc. The gear box would make a Judering noise on 4th and 5th gear . Took it to a garage they said it needs new clusters but they can’t find them anywhere . Can anybody help .Thank You.

If it does need new gears, they're almost impossible to find.

If it was me, I'd be looking for a scrap van with the same or similar gearbox, I think that there were 3 variants of the 5sp gearbox at that time.

Hello and welcome to this most friendly and informative forum. Hopefully someone will be able to offer other options

Member Newterry had a gearbox replaced by M&W Autos in Wisbech. Maybe they can help your garage.

There's also the option to have new parts fabricated, one of my foundry customers has (or had) a connection with a specialist gearbox manufacturer.

It's probably expensive, but not as expensive as a scrapped van or a bodged repair.

Try taking it to a different garage for another opinion.
Could be the clutch or driveshaft or driveshaft bearing.
Or gearbox / engine mounting.
Or something else. Explore all possibilities before making the decision to have the gearbox removed and repaired / replaced.

Mine is 1995 and still on the original gearbox. Later models had different gearboxes

An introduction would be nice...

I rang M&W autos they said they could not help me but suggested I look in scrapyards.

If you do an internet search you will find groups of scrapyards running  a search facility , you have to enter your reg model and possibly VIN to enable them to provide you with the correct part, often more than one will be available at different prices and warranties. Good luck

Personally, I would heed 'boxerman' suggestion first.
Get a second opinion.

I’ve tried scrapyard search but nothing has come back . I will now get a second opinion. Let you know Howe I get on . Thank you

If you second opinion is as the first after some searching (as I have a similar vehicle) I came across [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]  and to quote their web page  " Older Peugeot camper vans repairs from [ML 5 Speed Type] £850 Parts at MLP + Vat Price adjustment effective 25/04/2017. Includes Bearings, Synchros & seals, excludes gears hubs and shafts when available or re-engineered or modified gears." 

I assume thats with the box removed and delivered, definitely worth a phone call I would think.

Thank you . I’ve just talking to another garage who told me the same thing can’t get the parts . So will now try national gearboxes.Fingers crossed.

Pamela,
Sorry I'm a bit late to this one. If you pm me with your vin no. I can get your original factory build notes which includes the specific gearbox fitted and there's also an exploded diagrm showing individual parts and their reference numbers.
I'm going away today and will be back Tuesday 13th November. It's worth bearing in mind that both Citroen and Peugeot cars of a similar age are also affected by this issue.
Regards
Terry
