Since I am still without my new car I wonder if someone can tell me about the manual mode of the auto box?
What happens if in manual mode in 6th if I stop at a junction and try to set off? Does it select first? Or stay in 6th and not go?
If I rev too high in manual does it change up anyway?
It has two clutches, do these wear out? The box is supposed slip into neutral when you stop does that stop clutched wearing out if they do?
How fast does it change to first as from memory if I release my foot from break it starts to go straight away.

Re: 6 speed box manual mode
If you´re refering to Aisin transmission fitted to C5/C6 HDi models, it really does select lower or higher gear in manual mode when RPM goes too low or high. And there´s only one clutch, AFAIK there´s no double-clutch-transmission in any Citroen cars. There´s just these normal automatic gearboxes, and then BMP which is practically normal gearbox that´s operated by electric servos or something like that. I hope I made myself understable...

Re: 6 speed box manual mode
Looking at Wikipedia it mentions it having two clutches. Either one or two does that mean its not a real auto and doesn't have torque converter?
Thanks

Re: 6 speed box manual mode
The gearbox in the C6 is the AM6 gearbox and yes it does have a torque converter, I've got the specs on the box somewhere in PDF format, I'll have a look tomorrow and let you know.

Re: 6 speed box manual mode
I believe the one in my C5 I the Am6 too.
At least I know now I won't get stuck if I stop in manual mode.
Thanks.

Re: 6 speed box manual mode
Thank you for that. Have ha a quick read.
Interesting it says how much oil to put in when draining. Even though sealed for life

Re: 6 speed box manual mode
Remember guys to change oil regularly, eventhough Citroen says you haven´t to. I´m going to do that after every 30-40000km. It´s a lot cheaper than fixing your gearbox, and doesn´t cost that much.

Every 24000 miles or so? Is it really needing it that regular?Xantippa wrote:Remember guys to change oil regularly, eventhough Citroen says you haven´t to. I´m going to do that after every 30-40000km. It´s a lot cheaper than fixing your gearbox, and doesn´t cost that much.
Do you just do the drain 3 litres and replace 3 every 40000km, or do that process two or three times for the change, if you see what I mean?
