The gearbox on my Ami6 is very noisy when slowing down in 2nd and 4th gears, also quite noisy when accelerating in 2nd, the noise is a kind of grinding sound, I first thought it might be the drum brakes rubbing on the exhaust crossbox but Ive ruled that out now, so its definately the gearbox.

Any ideas what it is? had I better start looking for another gearbox?

This may sound like an obvious question but is there enough oil in the box? And when did you last change it. If the last oil change was years ago it might be worth a drain and refill.

If that does not work then it sounds similar to what a friend of mine had with his ami box. He had some thicker gearbox oil made up and it appeared to cure some of the noise.

Might be worth a try...

Many gearboxes are noisy, so the one in my Dyane.

I've hear only the GL4 oil is good. The GL4+ and GL5 may damaged the 2cv's gearboxes... 95% of gearbox oil are GL5 nowadays in the shop.
