It seems from reading up on this forum and also on Cliosport, that a lot of members 197s / 200s have the 'crunching' gearbox syndrome, followed shortly by a new gearbox entirely....

It would be interesting to find out just how many cars on the forum are running the original box compared to a new / recon box.... if possible add the age and mileage of the car too :smile:

Cheers

Orig on 51000 had a tiny prob to start when it wouldn't go in gear not for me but the wife other than that no probs at all
 
25500m still the same box :thumbup: but is running fully synthetic oil for 15000m
 
23k miles
57 Plate
Original Box

doesn't feel great when until its warmed up so will try some fully synth oil in it.

No crunching or reluctant gear changes to mention otherwise.
