Peugeot 106 Transmission Issues

Guys, I'm stressing! My 2003 Peugeot 106, gasoline engine, has the check engine light and transmission indicator on. The gearbox feels like it's slipping, shifting uncleanly, and makes grinding noises. A local guy said it's an error with the automatic transmission converter, like 2120€. Has this happened to anyone else? Is my Peugeot doomed?

I've had similar issues with my 106. Does it feel like the car is struggling to maintain speed, almost like it's constantly hunting for the right gear? Like a bicycle chain skipping under pressure? If so, it could very well be the torque converter.

Yeah, that's exactly it! It's like it can't decide what gear it wants to be in, especially going uphill. So, what happened with yours? Did you end up having to replace the whole transmission?

Unfortunately, yes, the torque converter had failed completely. Given the symptoms, the error code, and the mileage, it's probable you're facing the same issue. I recommend seeking a professional diagnosis and repair from a reputable workshop specializing in automatic transmissions. Delaying could cause further damage.

Thanks so much for the info! I was hoping it was something minor, but it sounds like I'm facing the music. Booked it into a transmission specialist who confirmed it's the torque converter. Ouch! At least I know what I'm dealing with now. Thanks again!
