We can provide you with the official gearbox part number, but please see below:

If you can't already find the info you need on the Forum, we do ask for a membership upgrade for official parts data as we are in turn charged for this. It will cover you for future parts requests for up to 2 years, so excellent value.

If interested, links are below, we now have your VIN.
A response to your question by a Forum Admin requiring parts or additional information requires you to have made a current contribution (£10 min.) to the Forum.

The only problem with official Citroen part numbers is it's unlikely to mean anything to a scrap yard.
You need an MA type gearbox.
To see any identification numbers you will probably need a wire brush & some cleaner.

The reason members are asked to pay a donation is that the Forum itself is charged for access to the information. The way the PSA Group charges for normal access is unusual, in that you pay for a certain amount of access time, and the clock DOES NOT STOP when you log out! This means that, should you pay for 1 hour access but log out after 15 minutes, YOU might think you will have 45 minutes left when you log back in at a later date but in actuality you will have no access time left.

Members are asked to pay a small donation (typically £10), but this will then cover them for up to 2 years of data searches. This is a better deal than the one people get from the PSA Group. Using the PSA information will pretty much guarantee the information (including part numbers) will be accurate. Getting information from other sources may be tricky and inaccurate.

It was not a demand, just information and your choice if you bothered to read the info in the links that would explain the reason. You probably didn't even notice in your response that this is a commercial and ad-free site run by volunteers and voluntary contributions by members. Knowledge is freely shared amongst members, but when you ask for part numbers that we obtain direct from PSA for a fee, you can't expect us to pay these costs for you.

Best of luck.
