Here's a gem. I just found out that PSA finally has a 6-speed transmission for the 1.6HDi (until recently the 6-speed was with larger, more powerful engines). Actually, there appear to be a few versions, automatic, manual, and electronically controlled manual. If I have the correct info, the manual's code is 20EA01 and I found a
Slovakian forum with gear ratios:

Check that out: overdrive in 4th gear!!
The Milion Dollar Question is: Will the 20EA01 gearbox fit my engine? My 1.6HDi is from the first half of 2005 and since then has been reengineered to get more power (82kW vs my 80kW) and better emissions (EURO 5 vs my EURO 3), and to work with a
second gen stop-start system.
Out of curiosity I searched for my trans' code and gear ratios, but that is much harder to find. Entering my car's VIN in Peugeot's ServiceBox I get that the final drive ratio is 19x72 and the gearbox's code may be any of the following:
"(DM7E) DM6J DM69 DM7E DM75
(DMF9) DMF9 DMG5 DM69 DM7E DM75"
whatever that means. Whether those boxes actually have different gearing or not is a mystery. I did find a list of speeds @1000rpm (from a
Citroen Picasso forum), but with unknown tire size:

From CUK mph/1000rpm
1.6ltr hdi
1st = 5.48
2nd = 10.26
3rd = 16.57
4th = 23.51
5th = 29.06

For km/h that's
1st = 8.78
2nd = 16.42
3rd = 26.51
4th = 37.61
5th = 46.50
I'll have to check that one day. I asked around at my local Pug forum, but nobody's offering any info, like usual
