hello, i have a 1996 peugeot 306 d turbo, i have a problem with my gear box, hers what happend.
I was driving the car as usual, i left it running with my mates in the car for about 5min, when i got back the car sounded like it was going to stall so i gave it a bit of gas then when i when to move off i had to force it into firts gear and it seemed like it was going to stall. i stopped the car depressed the clutch all the way down and tried all the gears, i had to force it into 1st and second but when i put it into 3rd it wouldent come out, so i forced it out and know it wont go back in even when im driving, all the gears seems more clunky and it just wont go into third. What i really need to know is it the gearbox or cluth thats falied. I got my car for £500 and its not had any major problems so far, it used to go into gear easliy, nice and smooth. i dont know of this might help but when i came back to the car my mate who was sitting in the front passenger seat had his leg over and was revving the engin so i thought maby he was grinding the gears with his leg. Please could you help me, my battery has now gone totally flat and i cant even jump start it, so i cant get it to local mechanic to have a look, i dont want to fork out for a new battery if the repair is going to be to expensive as its only a £500 car with 140000 on the clock.
Thank you

Thank you for your rapid response, it dosnt go into gear even when the engin is off, do u know what the problem would be and if it would be a cheap fix?

what I need to know, does it go in and out of all the gears OK with the engine switched off, if it does seem OK then it would appear to be the clutch.

If it is the same then it would seem like the gearbox is faulty.
