Compatibility And Applications
Designed primarily for Peugeot 407 models fitted with the 2.0 HDi RHR engine code. Also used across related PSA applications that share the same linkage design and part references. Always verify the part number on your vehicle before ordering.
Function And Common Failure Causes
The linkage rod transmits movements from the cabin gear lever to the transmission selector mechanism. Typical failure modes include wear of ball joints and bushings, corrosion, and damage from impacts. Symptoms of a worn linkage include excessive play in the shifter, difficulty selecting gears, rattling or clunking noises while shifting.
Replacement And Installation
Replacement is straightforward for a trained mechanic or experienced DIYer. General steps: safely raise and support the vehicle, access the linkage from under the car, remove retaining clips and fasteners, detach the old rod from both ends and install the new part, lubricate pivot points, and check gear selection and adjustment. Typical workshop time is about 1–2 hours depending on vehicle setup. Use correct torque values for fasteners and confirm secure retention of clips and bushings.
