This video was also important to me. I followed your directions and didn't have any problems. The only different thing I did was to place a spirit level on the engine to know how much to lower the left wheel to let all the oil out. Thank you very much.

Thank you for the detailed video. I was able to change the oil with ease. I did wonder, is there not a filter to change with this like the engine oil?

You're welcome, no there's no changeable filter in the transmission

[@alfred5068]

Thank you ...

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

You're welcome!

[@maria9704]

Great detailed video. It's helped a lot, thanks 😊 How do you know when it's full though, because doesn't some of the oil stay in the clutch, so it might not need the full 2 litres?

[@dismalfist]

Yes I also wondered this. There just isn't one on the newer MA5 boxes, you just get the car level, drain it out, fill through the breather, say prayer. At least that's what I do.

[@universewonders1]

You can also measure the amount that came out and put the exact amount back in, given you have no leaks ofcourse..

[@andyg817]

If u put lower viscosity oil in it , u may have leaks on your drive shaft seals.. as ive found out lol.. slightly thicker cured this problem.. 75 or 80w

[@TheBestDarkSide]

thank you very much! I really needed this video! In my case the level plug is on the side you showed in the picture (the 8mm square socket is present), can I fill it from there? Does the oil have any specification or is it enough that it is 75w80? Should the oil be drained cold or hot?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

The oil will drain quicker if it's warm. If you fill the gearbox through that level plug, make sure the car is perfectly level on the ground. You keep filling it until oil starts pouring back out that hole and then you have the correct level once it stops trickling out. The manual suggest that you go for a drive and then stop and give the oil time to settle back to the bottom and then check the level again, then top it up if necessary. Here's one example of the oil you can use: www.gsfcarparts.com/980aa0680

[@TheBestDarkSide]

@@screwsnutsandbolts thanks for all the advice and for creating tutorials on the beloved peugeot 206! I order the oil and proceed with the replacement

[@StromboliKicks]

Thanks for the video. I also have a 1.1i 206 from 2001. Did you have any symptoms that made you do it? I didn't know it was necessary to change it.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

No, no symptoms. I was just demonstrating how to carry out the process.

[@gasi9613]

Thank you! Great job! Is this the same opération for a 1.6 16v ?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Thanks. I'm sure about the 1.6 16v. It should be a similar but the drain plug could be on the underside of the gearbox and the filler on the side.

is this same with Peugeot 301 1.6 HDi Manual Transmission? planning to change mine.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

I've never worked on a Peugeot 301 so I'm not sure. There could be a few different transmissions for that vehicle so it might be similar to the one in my video or maybe like this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2a0kqWKnN1no6s It could also be completely different. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Is the process the same with a 406 coupe?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

I haven't worked on one so I'm not sure, but depending on the type of manual transmission on the car it's probably quite similar. However, the drain bolt may be on the underside of the gearbox and the filler/oil level hole could be on the side of it.

Rule number 1: Only open the drain plug once you have found and opened the filler opening.

[@tomerboochnik1003]

You sure its called ma5 transmission? And you know if its the same gearbox in peugeot 206 xt 1.4 2001

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

According to the manual the MA5 transmission drain plug is on the side of the differential housing whereas on the BE4/5 transmission it's at the bottom of the differential housing. This information is for the 2002 to 2009 models so I don't know if it's the same for the 2001 version.

[@tomerboochnik1003]

@@screwsnutsandbolts but do you know if it should be the same gearbox?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

I don't know, sorry

[@maria9704]

@@tomerboochnik1003 Maybe have a look under the car and see if it's the same shape as this one because there are a few other videos on KZbin where they either empty it from the side or underneath. The Haynes manual for 307 has the MA5 or BE4/5 but my 307 has the same as this video.

[@andrewszucs8161]

It would have been easier and faster to remove the reverse light switch and fill the gearbox from there. That way the air would have escaped through the breather hole

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

I had thought about that but I didn't want to complicate things too much :)
