Was a missing dogbone mount in the end.

There is a real clunk and the stick moves when for example when accelerating in 2nd and letting off almost like the gearbox is loose and is moving. iv just had a new diff put in as the circlip popped. Any ideas, could it be something loose or has something gone wrong?

Is there any ways to tell that a second hand gearbox is going to be worth buying?

Yeh I've seen about dan but i read up he was away and I'm pretty desperate for it to be done. Thanks though guys much appreciated.

Does anyone know of a Mechanic in the Bedfordshire area that can change a gearbox for me? i have a replacement just need the labour.

Just got a check over from a mechanic and none of the shafts are moving at all and they don't seem to have moved out of place is this signs of faulty clutch or still circlip problems?

So I'm better off getting a new gearbox? I've read up people weld them in to stop them going though?

:o I know but they were cheap. is it only renault I can get a new circlip from?

Basically I'm wondering if anyone could help me diagnose a problem.. last week I had a new clutch fitted, they told me it would take 4-5 hours. After waiting 2 days they finally told me they couldn't take the gearbox out due to "seized" bolts. Then after 4 days they say they need a new nose...

Could anyone tell me if and where there is a place in the Bedfordshire area to get my gearbox reconditioned and a rough price of how much it is to be done? Thanks.

I have a ktech stealth exhaust fitted at the moment but would like to have a nice looking pipe showing now, what options do I have? Can I just change the back box or do I need to change the whole exhaust system?

Just generally wondering what wheels people have on their clios... would especially like to see some Matt black 172 wheels on an iceberg.

I'm back to having to drive the shared Astra (mine and the mrs) it's nice and all but...I want the clio back! When the clutch pedal is pressed there is a lot of screeching like metal rubbing..i get people looking at me on a daily basis (because of the ktec stealth exhaust) but i seem to get a...

The speakers I have at the moment have a real bad sound and I want some new ones but don't have a clue about stuff like that. I've got a Sony aftermarket head unit, anyone got any advice on a quick swap of speakers and what brand/type are good so I can carry on enjoying belting out some Sinatra!

white looks best without a doubt, try putting the wheels and "trophy" lettering in red would love to see what it looks like!

that is what i was thinking of doing, just lowering on standards then IF they screw up then get some upgraded shocks, cheers guys thanks for the advice.

what damage would it do, if any or is it just a case of harsher ride quality?
