Any 172 drivers.....

[Leah172mk2]

...had a problem engaging first gear? When i go for first gear now it doesnt engage as smoothly as it has done before. Anyone have any ideas as to what may be wrong?

 

[pete_pete]

mines fine but speak to Rich D he has a 8 week old cup which has a problem and is in the garage for a new box!

 

[Leah172mk2]

Cheers Pete. Just seems to have happened all of a sudden. Its done just over 5k and is 11 weeks old but wasnt expecting to have clutch or gearbox problems already.

 

[Rich-D]

Get it in and get it checked...

My box was never right from new and as Pete says I just had a new box fitted, even though its only 6 weeks old!!!

Had no problems engaging gears, but it was whining in 1st gear and sometimes crunched going into 2nd but they swapped it.

Had my new box after 650miles!!!!!!!!

1st goes in with a clunk but thats a trait of the 172.

 

[Leah172mk2]

Am about to book it in for a service so will get it looked at then. It does clunk when it goes into first. If i sit stationery and go through the gear box the only gear that doesnt really clunk is fifth.

My box was replaced before I got the car from its previous owner, when I got the car it had 5600 miles on the clock so the gearbox was replaced well before then.

Mine sometimes clunk when going into first, its isnt really that noticable though.. but its still there. Dont think there is anything wrong with the box .. just a renault "feature".

Looks like this may be another renault trait to go along with the 4k rattle.

There is one thing that would make my day better. When i was a newbie i never received a poking! _KDF would you be so kind as this would cheer me up

 

[KDF]

As you so depressed already .. no..

I got in mine the other day and it would not go into reverse. every other gear was fine but it was like something was blocking it engaging reverse. I then left it for 5 mins then went back and it went in. dont know whats going on there.

 

[Sandro]
