replace gear selector +cables MK1 C5

Unread post by ibog »

Hiya,

I have lost my whole sedre manual due to a windows update ??😁

so... I wonder if anyone could please post the method for gear selector removal/replacement?

one garage said it takes 5hours(?) so I might be on my own on this one 😬

thanks in advance for any help 🙏

well... off to a great start..

the new part doesn't fit.. it's at the garage with it's exhaust hanging off and the part seems quite rare..

I'm sure it's the only year Citroen put the RHY in the c5 and Citroen can't tell me which gearbox I have other than BVM5 so I'm in need of some parts help

they gave me some numbers:
9800977680
2437F1
and
2400X0

I have 2 cables, 5 gears and reverse is back and right

🙏 Any help on identifying/acquiring the correct gear selector unit or something that will fit would be great, thanks..
