3Rd Gear Crunch

[vandenplas489]

just bought my synergie because I need 7 seats for my grandchildren, it has a slight crunch putting into 3rd gear, up and down, if you  change really slowly it wont crunch, is it the syncro, also need a few parts, drivers armrest, rear nearside tail light, on tailgate, glove box cover, interior is a creamy colour, any help please

hello

yes you are right it is the synchro

it is a pretty complicated fix to do, and you have to change the clutch at the same time ( it is better)

Your problem will become more and more big if you drive like that.

For used spares ebay is usually a start, for the actual spare or to locate a breaker who may have a car being taken apart.

For a rear light, you may find it better to go to your dealer for a new one (from my experience of rear lights for a C3). A used one may not be adequately perfect (cracks/scratches/damage to locating lugs) so better to inspect before buying, could be half the price of a new one. New copy parts may not fit as well as Citroen ones either, whether from on-line sources or from such as Eurocarparts and some may cost as much as Citroen ones.
