    HELP! May have dropped a pipe into Gearbox!

    If it was a plastic or rubber pipe, the box will chew it up. If it was a metal piece of pipe, it may chew the gearbox up.

    Knocking under acceleration 172 Cup

    The one circled mate it the one you turn 90 degrees, but that’s not the original dog bone or bush in the image mate. They’re round bushes on the 1*2.

    Knocking under acceleration 172 Cup

    Trust me mate, it’s probably the best free modification you can get/make on them.

    Knocking under acceleration 172 Cup

    If you press the original dogbone bush out, rotate it 90 degrees and refit it into the dog bone, you get 90% of the benefits of a poly bush with 0% of the NVH.

    6 point harness install

    Easiest way to cause yourself some serious harm in the event of needing the harness to do its job.

    6 point harness install

    Personally I wouldn’t install them unless you can get them at the correct angles.

    I would imagine so mate yeah.

    Clio 182 Turbo

    I had one in that had done the exact same thing just before Christmas funnily enough. I’d need to see the selector forks ideally mate before I can commit, but the upper half of the casing could be of use 👍🏻

    Clio 182 Turbo

    See the bit highlighted green? That’s where the mainshaft pinion bearing used to live. This is one of the most common failure point I see on them alongside selector forks and synchro rings.

    JR5 versus JB3

    Well the gripper has to be the diff of choice then. Those RSX things are pure shite

    JR5 versus JB3

    I don’t think there’s a diff available for the jr5 box mate

    JR5 versus JB3

    No mate I don’t think it will

    JR5 versus JB3

    No mate it’s not possible. Totally different gearbox setups I’m afraid.

    Polycarbonate windows

    I used the thermoformed set from plastics 4 performance in my track cup. They had the black border around the edge - as per oem and were also in the correct shade of green, so they looked like factory glass pretty much. Quality was 100%. I think a lot of companies that make the windows now...

    Billet jc5 selector forks.

    They’re a better chassis though mate. Having owned a mk2 and a mk3, I know this to be true. Forks? Yes 100%. As for batch costs, I’m not sure. Depends on materials etc.

    Billet jc5 selector forks.

    I just don’t think the mk2 clio is that popular anymore mate. Most people have moved on to the mk3 now

    Billet jc5 selector forks.

    They’re not as horrific as you think tbf. A lot of the problems come from people changing gear with zero sympathy, and also using s**t/wrong grade of oil. I’ve been around them now long enough to know their weaknesses better than most. I could probably re-engineer the synchro rings to work...

    Billet jc5 selector forks.

    Hi mate, No need to apologise for the tag 👍🏻 So as it currently stands, I haven’t seen them again for the last time, but I’ll be seeing them in the coming weeks. From what I’ve seen over the months, the selector fork for 3rd/4th gear was showing signs of wear. Since then I’ve spoken with one...

    JC 130 chipped 5th gear

    It’ll be fine. The chip will have occurred when the gear was removed off the shaft. 👍🏻

    2010 Clio RS Gordini gearbox isdue

    Technically, that’s not correct as the ratios in the 200 box aren’t the same as the 197. The early 197 had the TL4 003, which was a closer ratio box. They changed the ratios in the TL4 024 box and improved the cruising rpm. When they did the 200, they changed the ratios again slightly - which...

    You just need a TL4 031 mate.

    JC5 with gripper oil viscosity

    I recommend mt90 for track work purely because the higher viscosity oil also has a higher operating temperature. You’d be fine with mtl I imagine, but if you’re hammering it, just change it more frequently.
