Trafic gearbox slipping

Hi, I've got a 2000 Renault Trafic with a gasoline engine. The gearbox seems to be slipping and the gear shifts aren't clean. It's done about 92031 km. I suspect it's the transfer case, maybe oil wear or a leak. Anyone experienced this?

I had similar symptoms with my Trafic. Check for gear grinding sounds and inspect the transfer case oil for metal shavings. That could mean defective gears inside.

Thanks! I'll check for grinding and metal shavings. If those are present, what's the most likely fix? Rebuild or something simpler?

If you find shavings, the gears are probably wearing down. A rebuild might be needed, or even a replacement of the transfer case. Get a proper diagnosis to avoid more damage.

Thanks again! Mechanic confirmed defective gears in the transfer case. Repair cost 330€.
