The different gearboxes of the Citroën C Crosser
The chevron mark is a technology benchmark. It acquired this reputation with the mythical DS21, which was well ahead of its generation of vehicles in terms of design and engineering. Citroën's DNA remains intact with the C Crosser, the first models of which came out in 2007, as this stylish SUV holds a gold mine of information at Gearbox C Crosser.
Indeed, the majority of these urban 4×4s are equipped with a 5-speed mechanical gearbox that is highly efficient for winding roads. This option generally accompanies the 2.2 HDI engine renowned for its reliability. However, at the request of its customers, Citroën has developed a new gearbox in partnership with Mitsubishi. This is a semi-automatic dual-clutch gearbox with a formidable efficiency, which you will also find on the Peugeot 4007. This technology is based on a relatively simple principle that is having an effect on roads. It is actually an improved version of the robotic box, except that the box is divided into two half boxes. One part of the gearbox takes care of odd gears while the second part takes care of even gears.
The result is lightning-fast gear changes and a driving level that is far superior to that of a traditional mechanical gearbox. It usually accompanies a 2.4 Injection engine, again in collaboration with the Japanese firm, distributed in a limited edition of the range.
How do I change the gearbox of my Citroën C Crosser?
It is normal that over the course of the mileage, the Gearbox of your Citroën C Crosser will experience wear and tear. This is because it is a relatively complex part where several metal components rub against each other to select the desired gear. Although you probably know a lot about the powertrain, don't forget that it's an essential part of your vehicle's drivetrain.
Therefore, it is preferable to leave the refurbishment or any manipulation on the Gearbox to professionals who have a significant background in the field. This will save you from incurring additional costs due to clumsiness linked to a lack of skill. Without forgetting that you obviously need specific tools to be able to take care of it properly.
In addition, as we saw earlier, the Citroën C Crosser has two types of boxes. The mechanical gearbox is much easier to handle than the dual-clutch version. Being a form of car gearbox, you can be sure that the on-board technology is much more complex and complicated compared to the first model. Indeed, there are twice as many components and it is often necessary to reprogram the electronics after the repair. All these factors lead us to advise you to always use a specialized garage to make sure that things are made to last.

Tips that can save your ass
It is customary for dealers not to mention the need for regular maintenance on your Gearbox. Voluntary omission for marketing purposes? You should always remember to change the oil in your gearbox to increase its lifespan. It is indeed a physical phenomenon that is very easy to understand. A Gearbox is made up of several pieces of metal that fit together, causing wear on the different walls over the long term. Thus, it is always necessary to change the oil in the gearbox every 2 years or at least every 50,000 km to ensure good viscosity and therefore less friction.
This is so simple to do that you can do it yourself to save money. The trapdoor can be found at Gearbox. When opening it, pay close attention to the colour of the oil. If it is black, this means that the oil must be replaced immediately. On traditional gearboxes, remember to change your disc and clutch plate regularly. Indeed, these two parts play a very important role in the operation of the power train. They reduce wear and tear on the Gearbox and make gear changes smoother. On a mechanical gearbox, you'll therefore use less force on the lever to lower or increase the gears.
In addition, there is a technique used by professional drivers to relieve box synchro. Although magazine articles tell you that it is no longer necessary to practice the double clutch technique when downshifting, it does the greatest good in terms of mechanics. In addition, it provides a better driving feel and is safer as it avoids locking the wheels when engaging the clutch.
On automatic gearboxes, whether robotized or not, the best advice would be to avoid overloading the gearbox by avoiding too sudden accelerations, as the electronics manage the entire shifting process.
However, be aware that the Gearbox of your Citroën C Crosser will sooner or later need to be changed. If you hear a suspicious noise or if the gears are shifted incorrectly, remember to rectify the C Crosser gearbox problem immediately to stop the damage. Ask a professional for help, as the C Crosser gearbox is a complex part that requires the right tools. To do this, you need the right tools, EDEN BOITES offers you a range of products ranging from standard exchanges to used parts to reconditioning your own box as a solution.
