CITROEN XSARA PICASSO EXCLUSIVE HDI - Tight Gear box - Barry Richardson

Gear box has gone very tight when changing gear

Possible causes?

CITROEN XSARA PICASSO EXCLUSIVE HDI - Tight Gear box - brum

Clutch not fully disengaging or worn/faulty gearshift linkage at a guess.

CITROEN XSARA PICASSO EXCLUSIVE HDI - Tight Gear box - Cyd

Age? Mileage? typical drive cycle? service history?

In the first analysis I'd agree with Brum

@Barry Sounds the most likely causes. Reverse often being the worst.
