A modern semi-automatic Peugeot / Citroen will come with SensoDrive technology. Sensodrive is basically an electronically controlled manual gearbox. It will come fitted with an electronic clutch actuator, gearbox actuator and a gearbox ECU.
The Peugeot / Citroen range vehicles with SensoDrive technology often suffer transmission faults and most commonly the problems are within the electronic clutch actuator and / or gearbox actuator. Below we’ve listed some of the common failing symptoms we’ve seen these units suffer with.
Common Clutch Actuator / Gearbox Actuator Problems
- Won’t Rev in Reverse
- Gears Won’t Select
- Selecting Wrong Gears
- Going in & out of Auto Mode
- Showing ” – ” Sign Instead of Gears
- Showing Snowflake Sign on Dash
- ECU Logging Clutch Actuator Faults
- ECU Logging Gear Actuator Faults
A new clutch actuator alone will cost you £480 +Labour and may require coding / calibration. A new gearbox actuator alone will cost you £780 +Labour and may require coding / calibration. New replacement parts from dealers will come with a 12-month warranty. Second hand used parts will be a lot cheaper but come with limited warranty (typically 30-90 days) and may require reprogramming.

Hi have a peugeot 3008 semi auto with fault codes p162b and p1755 is this to Do with the gearbox Actuators. Many thanks
Hi Lee
Thanks for the enquiry,
These faults can be caused by the clutch/gear actuators but also the clutch assembly itself. It will need to be thoroughly diagnosed to confirm the root cause of the issue. We do remanufacture the clutch + gear actuators and we test all units first to confirm the faults before proceeding with a repair.

Have c4 Picasso VTR+ 2.0ltr hdi, jumped out of gear into nuetral, called AA they found some code faults, (Gear control – 01K / Direct shift trans.MCP 5.0 Status :P1731 – Gear actuator. Error Message :). Had know problem since they reset CPU. Could this be start of problems, had car two & half yrs. New clutch & gearbox reconditioned 12m mnths ago
Hi Alan
Thanks for the enquiry,
The P1731 is a very common code associated to the malfunction of the gear actuator and it may have just been a glitch but more than likely, I would say it is possibly the beginning of this unit failing and over time the problems may become more frequent. If you experience any more issues with either the clutch or gear actuators, I would recommend having them sent in to be tested for peace of mind.
I have sent you an email with full information and pricing for our test and repair services. If you have any other questions, please feel free to come back to me.

Hi I have a gear change actuator for my C2 furio can you give me a price for testing /repair also will I be able to refit it without any diagnostic equipment thanks
Hi Peter
Thanks for the enquiry,
We have sent you an email with full information and pricing for the testing and repair of the gear actuator to your Citroen C2. When you refit the unit after a successful repair, coding is not required as you would with a new unit, however, you may sometimes need access to diagnostic equipment to reset learned values and clear any fault codes.
I hope this information helps and should you have any further questions, feel free to respond to the email and we’ll be happy to assist you.
