And yes, this transmission is very conventional in its design, construction and operation. There have been millions of them made across dozens on Peugeot, Citroen and Renault badges (and Fiat and Chery and probably some others).
They’re dead easy to rebuild, parts are super cheap and if maintained properly are robust and long lasting. The pressure regulation solenoid can give trouble, but that’s a cheap and easy fix.
The best way to kill them is run a semi synthetic Peugeot fluid and then never change it. Change the fluid (well the half charge you get when you drain it) every 40K or so with a quality full synthetic fluid and it will go for a long time.
