What effect would a renault 19 16v box have on a clio?
Would the intial acceleration be better?
Will be running the box on a 2l willy engine modified with cams, port & polish, chipped, balanced bottom end
packed up tonight!
The story....
Bought a 2 litre lump out a willy fitted it myself kept the clutch which was on it looked fine after about 500 miles packed up grinding noises and clunking from the box sparks coming out the inpection hole.
Fitted a new ebc sports clutch with spring and...
yeah i have had the caliper off it does brake but just not enough anyone ever stripped one down might have a go, or any way of releasing while on the car
Took my car for the test again and failed for the drivers side brake being only half effective as the passangers when you throw the brakes on the passenger locks up where as the drivers continues to rotate and doesnt lock up at all,
Would a new caliper solve this?
tryed cleaning the pads...
If the car is ticking over put the clutch down everything is ok put then go for a gear and the car shunts as it is engaged new cable, new pedal and new clutch 70 mile ago, think the box might be dying its done 110k the box with a bit of a hard life
my clutch went in my car, lifted the engine the clutch was in four pieces fitted a new bb one loads of other bits now still having the same trouble clunky sometimes when changing gear and sometimes grinds especially when taking the revs to 6k+,
Any ideas?????
Mot tommorrow again took it to another garage about 2 month ago with the de-cat on and passed emissions no problem at all,
the car is a 1991 j reg i believe the car will be ok because it is pre 92 K is this correct will it pass at the other garage again
the plastic block its green and can be found on the plate in front of the clutch pedal, when you release the pedal it will rest on the block if the block is not there it will rest higher then the other two pedals by about 2", and be metal on metal not metal on the block if you get me
YEAH DONE IT TONIGHT TOOK 2 HOURS TO DO WITH ME AND MY MATE BRILLIANT RESULT GOT LEATHER BUCKETS IN THE FRONT AND THE REN 19 IN THE BACK, REALLY IMPRESSED WITH THEM
i have buttons too but that doesnt count eiether he says it has to be a mechanical method, he says electrical methods are not accepted by the mot, he reckon people knocked the filler out put handles back on for the test, as if
i showed him it was on remotes and he didnt want to know, he said what would you do it you rolled you car and some one couldnt open the door to get you out, i said if i rolled the car the doors wouldnt open then he said if i smashed the front end up? but lets face it you smash your car up what...
Noticed you have no handles or locks on your car, same here on remote solinoids, have you took it for mot yet cause down my way they reckon it will fail.

i went out from work about a year ago to find the drivers window of my old clio in a thousands bits on the floor just the window the car had gone cost me a fiver to get home the police found what was left of the car in some woods cut into 12 bits with a stil saw they stripped it.
clutch kit cost me £140 but i completely strip down the car myself,
About £400 - £450 for a garage to do it
You can buy just the bearing but its the labour to replace it what costs so you may aswell put i new clutch in while the box is off
Problem solved mine did that bought a new cable and pedal from renault fitted it properly removing the green plastic thing to let the mechanism tighten put it back on and the car struggled to get gears some days ok others bad.
Result - Clutch shattered into four pieces a day later while racing...
