Part description

A complete set of shift lever with shift cables designed for Peugeot 207. This part is used to accurately transfer movement from the shift lever to the transmission mechanism – in good condition, it will manifest itself in more reliable shifting, smaller clearances and better readability of individual steps.

This is a used original part from the Stellantis group (Citroën/Peugeot), dismantled from a car with 46,000 km mileage, which is often a good prerequisite for the well-preserved operation of the mechanics and cable guides.

Installation recommendations

Generally/typically for a shifter with cables, the exact procedure may vary depending on the specific car design and transmission type. Below is a handy one-size-fits-all procedure for replacing this assembly.

1) Before assembly

• Carefully compare the old and new part: matching codes (9654072280, 2400CP, 2444CZ), lengths and routing of cables, types of terminations and grips.
• Check the condition of the cables: cracked/broken ends, stiff running, damaged bowdens, play in the pins.
• Check the shift mechanism in the lever: smooth movement, without rubbing and excessive play.

2) Necessary tools and materials

• Normal set of hand tools (ratchet and bits, socket wrenches, screwdrivers)
• Pliers (suitable for clips/fuses), or a small pry bar for plastic handles
• Cleaning agent for degreasing and rags
• Tie straps for temporarily securing the line (as needed)

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Secure the vehicle against movement and prepare a work area (typically dismantling parts of the interior around the gear lever according to the design).
2. Document the original cable routing (photos) – this will help with proper storage and attachment.
3. Disconnect the ends of the cable guides from the shift lever (depending on the type of attachment, usually a pin/joint + fuse).
4. Relax the cable guides in the holders/grommets so that they can be pulled out without force.
5. Dismantle the shift lever from its housing (progressively loosen the fasteners and remove the assembly).
6. Remove the cables from the line so as not to damage the surrounding parts and insulation.
7. Install the shifter from the new kit into the housing and tighten the fasteners adequately and evenly (without over-tightening the threads).
8. Run the cables along the same route as originally – make sure they are not broken at sharp bends or run over edges.
9. Snap/fasten the cables into the brackets and grommets so they don’t move around the entire bowden when shifting.
10. Connect cable ends to shifter in correct position and check that locks/clips are fully engaged.
11. Perform a basic check of the shift operation at rest (engine off) – all positions should shift smoothly.
12. Reinstall the removed covers/interior parts and double check that nothing is restricting the movement of the lever.
• 4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification
  • Check that the cables do not rub anywhere and rub the line when shifting.
  • Verify smooth engagement of all gears including reverse (without excessive force).
  • During a test drive, observe whether the gear shift does not jump, is inaccurate or worsens when warmed up.

  5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them

  • Not engaged locks and clips → after assembly, manually check each lock and joint play.
  • Swapping cable guides (if different) → mark everything before disassembly and compare with the old piece.
  • Transmission of vibrations/noises due to poor seating in the holders → make sure the bowdens are fully seated in the housing.

  Reasons why the part is damaged

  • Wear of joints and pins in the shifting mechanism (backlash formation, inaccurate shifting).
  • Aging and stiffening of cable guides (difficult lever movement, rubbing when shifting).
  • Damage to the bowden or terminals (cracks, torn out handles, binding).
  • Incorrect installation in the past – kinked wiring, poorly snapped brackets, insufficient securing.
  • Intrusion of dirt and moisture into the mechanism and joints (increased friction, corrosion).
