I have also used dextron II in my Extra van with success, its on jb3 but not a million miles away from jc5. After blowing up a load of gearboxes was recommended it by a drag racer apparantly a lot of the honda lads use it.
Shifts were a lot better over 7k rpm when hot and no more damaged...

I have used total gear8 in my dci too dirt cheap from gsf seems decent its gl4 75/80.
In for replys. I gently agitated my recaros with a nail brush and slightly dampened the material, it made a difference but they are still no where near as very mucky so need to revisit.
Clip is great for the Renaults mate powerful bit of kit. Clone clip off ebay is quite reasonable to buy too?
No worries mate if you need any advice just give me a shout. Its all about sharing the knowledge - ive found loads of info on here its great ?
Need to get some more use out of it...
It will all be due to high ambient temps. Its been the hottest spell we have had in years. Intake temp was something daft like 60deg on idle on the rs monitor in the megane the other day and thats with ac on
I wont be doing it for a long time yet, just parts gathering at the mo. There is an option to build the newer shape kangoo with the turbo lump - clio197/200 front suspension - i believe it might go on without too much fuss which would probably be awesome if it worked out. Need to get my Extra...
I dont mind the orange either breaks up the white. I bought the clear bits but just could not be bothered to try them. Maybe in the future if i get really bored lol.
Haha im not that big at the mo after massive diet, 13st9 feel like a shadow of my former self?
Cheers mate just trying to get all the little bits right on this and hopefully will get a few trouble free trackdays out of it soon?
Are you going to Cs festival in August ? I can bring the laptop and clip with me to reconfig your setup to suit no bother. If not im sure we can sort something out?
Replace the battery in the fob and check the microswitch is still attatched to the circuit board regarding remote central locking.
All doors should lock off the interior button i would check fuses and then go onto wiring. If you have access to clip maybe scan and actuate the door locks to test.
Been looking into this myself. I believe you need the pin code to match the vin number associated with the uch to program the keys with clip. I also hear other programs will do it without too not sure if true or not ?
Nearly had the beans all over the table haha. I rarely go to a greasy spoon but this was awesome, massive plate of filth
I hope its of use to people in the future ?
Cheers mate, i have some clear side repeaters and some headlamps off the last of this shape kangoo with clear indicators...
Weekend update
Refitted later 172 ecu/uch and fired engine up from cold - idled normal and settled down to 800ish rpm idle when hot. I scanned it with clip and a load of old faults were stored relating to ct temp sensor etc assuming off the old car - cleared them and no furthur idle issues -...
Good to hear its sorted - nothing worse than unwanted lights on ! i knew it wouldnt be custom firmware for cup uch.
Do you know where the vin is stored ? my old ecu/uch pack said d4f instead of f4r and vin number of pretty much 12345. Fitted 2nd hand setup and still says the same ? is it the...
Got to the bottom of this in the end
Basically refitted later 172 ecu/uch and fired engine up from cold - idled normal and settled down to 800ish rpm idle when hot. I scanned it with clip and a load of old faults were stored relating to ct temp sensor etc assuming off the old car - cleared them...
Managed it with a couple of hours on clip playing about ?
Basically recalibrate the multiplex network to set abs and steering angle sensor to missing
Then recalibrate the clocks to remove course (Trajectory) control system to turn the esp light off. Job done no more network faults or serv...
You can take the heatsheilds off without any problems usually...you could fit some reflective heat shielding or similar if worried about it. Most motorsport places sell a variety of heat management products.
Coming along great?
I need to reconfig the clocks on my kangoo to lose the esp on the 2nd hand ecu/uch i have. Looks pretty simple according to the manual, any tips ? Says batt off, reconfig without turning ign on etc. Do you need to manually input vin on clip ?
Knotted wheel on a grinder will remove factory underseal no bother. Beware its messy and time consuming, wear goggles as a trip to the eye infirmary is not nice (from previous experiences !)
I would spot remove underseal where the rust is forming, clean up with knotted wheel, if metal is thin...
Check out the vin number on the current uch lol also case says n3 uch on the cover but scans as n2 ? Feck knows no wonder the rear door is always open.
Thanks for reading ?
Update
Jc5 129 with speedo sensor collected, get that fitted soon
Took it to FCS last weekend, steady drive there and back drives great with new leads on, no hesitation or nowt. As still on knackered gearbox took it steady as 3/4th gear crunch is quite bad now.
Late night greasy spoon on A453...
