Peugeot cars use different types of automatic transmissions, depending on the model and engine:
- Aisin classic automatic transmissions (AT6, AT8) – in modern models.
- ETG / EAT – robotic gearboxes (in older models, e.g. 207, 308).
- ZF – less common, in higher-end models or commercial vehicles.
What gearboxes are used in Peugeot cars?
- Aisin EAT6 / EAT8 – Peugeot 208, 308, 508, 2008, 3008, 5008.
- ETG5 / ETG6 (robotized) – older models (207, 307, Partner).
- ZF / GM – in some older or specific models.
How is the repair going?
- Diagnostics – electronics, pressure and clutch testing.
- Disassembly and troubleshooting – checking friction, valve block, solenoids.
- Clutch replacement (ETG) – a common defect in robotic gearboxes.
- Hydraulic block repair (Aisin) – often necessary for poor shifting.
- Oil change (Aisin) – oil quality is important, despite the “sealed” system.
- Adjustment and final testing – requires electronic calibration.
The most common problems:
- ETG: jerking, long shifting, clutch wear.
- Aisin: knocks, oil leaks, pressure loss.
- Solenoid or electronics defects.
Technical disadvantages:
- ETG: low comfort, frequent need for adjustment.
- Aisin: expensive repairs with serious wear, sensitivity to oil.
- Sensitivity to improper operation (especially in city mode).
Approximate Peugeot gearbox repair costs:
- Clutch replacement (ETG): €500–900
- Oil change (Aisin): €250–400
- Hydraulic unit repair: €800–1400
- Full repair (Aisin): €1500–2800
