Citroen c5 1.8 2003 Model - Hard Gear Shifts Post Engine Warm-up and Clutch Replacement

Question

Hello, I have a Citroen c5 1.8 from 2003. Half a year ago, I replaced the clutch kit. The reason was the vibration when starting. Since then, I've done about 4,000 km. I have been having a hard time going in gears for some time. I will add that after firing on the cold, they go perfectly...

What condition of the oil in the gearbox? Have you checked the links from the jack to the box, which go? Maybe they need to be replaced? Besides, the brake fluid level is normal? Is he not diminishing? Because maybe the clutch slave is let through and needs to be replaced. Check these things, if it doesn't help, we'll think further.

Hello. The oil was changed together with the clutch, but I changed it again for the sake of peace. I removed the links from the selector and checked, they are loose. The fluid is as much as it should, not decreasing. After replacing the clutch, it happened that twice a night that the pedal was up to half drooped.
After lifting it upside down, it was ok.

The cables on the gearbox are definitely on their mountings? Maybe one of the handles is detached? This is 2003, and as far as I remember there were two types of fastening the lines on the crate, one with a grommet, the other with sliding collars. The first kind was emergency and they stopped assembling it. To bring the cable back, check how they work on the box. You have to take the can from the air filter and sweep the box to check if everything is in place.

So, by the way, are all engine and gearbox cushions operational?

Have you checked the condition of the selector itself?

I will check the lines again. It's strange that on the cold one they are great, and they only catch a little temperature and start climbing harder and harder. What would the temperature have to the lines. I don't know anymore.

As for the engine cushions and gearbox, all three are new from a good company.

I unfastened the cables and checked, they are loose. Before the engine warms up, the gears go perfectly. After five kilometers, the gears enter as if something got stuck somewhere.

Hello. Can there be air in the clutch? How to bleed it properly?

jacek779 · Answer

The clutch is deaerated, the improvement is silent. Can it release the clutch slave cylinder or the clutch pump even though there is no fluid leakage? What happens more often?

Hello again. Yesterday I unfastened the cables again and this little link next to the selector. It turned out that the part sticking out of the box is jamming, it moves, but not completely and generally stutters. What can you do about it?

Hello, my box has the symbol 20DL29. Does it have to be like this, can it be replaced with a different symbol? If so, what kind? Please advice?

Does anyone know if there may be a different box designation, e.g. 20DL30? I read that they have a similar main gear and a stronger differential.
