Reconditioned Peugeot 406 3.0 Petrol Gearbox – Reference 20LE40

This reconditioned 5-speed manual gearbox fits the Peugeot 406 3.0 Petrol with XFZ (ES9J4) and XFX (ES9J4S) engines, engine capacity 2946 cm³, and corresponds to reference 20LE40. This V6 engine powers the top-of-the-range 406 saloon and estate, models well regarded for their driving refinement, though the manual gearbox can show signs of wear as mileage builds up. Reconditioning involves a full strip-down, thorough cleaning and inspection of every internal component, followed by replacement of all wear parts including gears, synchros, bearings and seals. The unit is then reassembled to manufacturer tolerances and bench-tested before being returned to you.

Signs That Your Gearbox Needs Replacing

  • Difficult or notchy gear changes, particularly between second and third
  • Crunching or grinding when selecting a gear
  • A gear jumping out or popping back to neutral whilst driving
  • Abnormal noise in neutral with the engine running
  • Stiff gear lever or excessive play when changing gear
  • Visible oil leak from the gearbox casing
  • Vibrations or judder felt during gear changes

Your Unit Rebuilt and Ready to Fit

With this service, you send us your own gearbox, reference 20LE40: it is not swapped for another unit, but fully stripped, cleaned, inspected and rebuilt before being reassembled to manufacturer tolerances and bench-tested. Your gearbox remains the original unit from your Peugeot 406, guaranteeing perfect compatibility with the rest of the drivetrain and removing any concern about pairing with the engine. Once the rebuild is complete, it is returned to you ready to be refitted to the vehicle.

Compatibility

This 5-speed manual gearbox is compatible with the Peugeot 406 3.0 Petrol fitted with XFZ (ES9J4) and XFX (ES9J4S) engines, engine capacity 2946 cm³. Before ordering, we recommend checking reference 20LE40 on the identification plate or on the gearbox once removed from your vehicle, to avoid any mismatch.

Warranty and Payment

This rebuilt gearbox is covered by a 12-month parts warranty, valid subject to fitting by a qualified professional. Payment can be spread over several instalments, in up to 10 instalments.

EDEN BOITES supports you from quote through to the return of your rebuilt unit.
