Description
Gear selector lever, robotic gearbox selector for Citroën C1, Peugeot 107 and Toyota Aygo automatic with speed sensor.
Overview
This gear selector lever is designed for automated/manual robotic transmissions used on small city cars Citroën C1, Peugeot 107 and Toyota Aygo. The assembly includes the selector mechanism and an integrated speed sensor that supplies vehicle speed information to the gearbox ECU to ensure correct shift timing. Ideal for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts looking for a direct replacement part identified by OEM numbers 1608025580, 1612500880 or internal code 217706.
Key Benefits
- Direct fit for original mounting points – simplifies replacement and reduces installation time.
- Integrated Speed Sensor – maintains correct shift logic and speedometer signal integrity.
- OE Part Numbers Included – easy findability in search by code 1608025580 / 1612500880 / 217706.
- Robust Design – engineered for the packaging and linkage geometry specific to C1/107/Aygo models.
Compatibility
Fits Vehicles: Citroën C1, Peugeot 107, Toyota Aygo (models equipped with the corresponding robotic/automated manual gearbox and matching part numbers). Always check the part number on the old unit against the codes listed below.
How It Works And Function
The selector lever translates driver input from the gear lever into mechanical/electrical signals for the robotic gearbox actuator. The integrated speed sensor provides a vehicle speed signal used by the gearbox control unit for shift decisions and safety interlocks. The assembly also houses linkages and pivots that position the gearbox for Park/Neutral/Drive/Reverse depending on the transmission design.
How To Replace
- Prepare: Park vehicle on level ground, engage handbrake and disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting work.
- Access: Remove center console trims and any interior panels blocking access to the selector assembly.
- Disconnect: Unplug electrical connectors, speed sensor connector and release any retaining clips on linkages or cables.
- Remove: Unbolt the selector unit from its mounting points and carefully free the linkage/cables from the gearbox end.
- Install: Fit the replacement unit in reverse order, secure all fasteners to correct torque, reconnect connectors and reassemble trim panels.
- Test: Reconnect battery, verify neutral/park detection, check for gearbox faults, confirm speedometer and shift operation before road testing.

Installation Recommendations
- Always disconnect the battery before removing or installing the selector to prevent short circuits and unintended gearbox commands.
- Keep mounting surfaces and electrical connectors clean and dry. Corroded connectors can cause intermittent faults.
- Use correct torque values for fasteners and ensure linkages are routed and secured as per manufacturer practice to avoid binding.
- After installation verify gear selection across all positions and perform a short test drive to confirm correct operation and absence of fault codes.
Why This Part Fails Most Often
Common failure causes include wear of plastic bushings or pivots, cable stretch or breakage, contamination or ingress of moisture leading to corrosion, and electrical connector/sensor faults. Urban use with frequent gear changes, aggressive shifting or impact damage to the center console area increases wear. The integrated speed sensor can also fail or give intermittent signals due to wiring faults or connector corrosion, which adversely affects shift quality.
What To Check Before Replacement
- Inspect the selector for play in pivots, damaged or worn bushings and broken mounting points.
- Check electrical connectors and wiring for corrosion, bent pins or loose terminals.
- Read gearbox error codes with diagnostic tool to confirm selector/sensor faults before replacing the part.
- Verify speedometer behavior and ABS/traction system warnings that may indicate a faulty speed sensor.
Notes For Professionals And DIY Mechanics
This part is supplied to match specified OE numbers; when searching online or in catalogs use the product codes 1608025580, 1612500880 or 217706 to locate the correct unit. Replacement is straightforward for experienced technicians but requires careful handling of electrical connectors and linkage adjustment to restore reliable operation.
