Peugeot 306 5th gear. - 659FBE



It's possible that the nut securing the 5th gearset to either the input shaft or mainshaft (there's one on each) has become loose.

As these are located under a pressed extension of the gearcase which can be removed in situ, removing this cover and retightening the nut(s) is a very cheap fix.

Have a look in there first.
