Citroen C4 Picasso ii B78 5-gear manual weird shifting

Unread post by martinbrauer86 »

Dear professionals!

i have a strange question for like 1-2 weeks with my 2013 C4P II (92Hp) 5 gear manual:
the 2nd and 4th, sometimes the reverse gear is very "strange" to select sometimes. It feels like these gears "route" are way too shorter on the gear stick. the 1st and 3rd is smooth and long to select, the gear stick runs forward nicely. The problematic gears feels like i only runs like 1cm with a short "click" its almost hard to put the gearbox in these gears. When the car is stationary, i do not feel this, but on the run, its extremely strange, as i did not felt this in the past, all gears was very "straight forward". I totally understand if you find this description unprofessional, and i am not sure that its a problem or only i became too "picky" but maybe something is worn out? Thank you for your help!

What mileage has the car done? :)
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

Then you may well have wear in the linkage. Have it checked by a professional and go from there! :)
