Crunch into 3rd

[Jimzar]

Under hard acceleration i.e. red line in first and second when I put my 182 into third it crunches every time!

Anyone else noticed this?

 

[DrR]

Mine does this (172) sycro mesh is fucked. New gearbox/rebuild time.

 

[S77CCP]

Correct, however i had this issue and a clutch replacement sorted it.

 

[Jimzar]

Do you think that either a new clutch or gearbox would be covered under warranty? 05 plate!

 

[S77CCP]

'Should' be.

 

[jjoe90]

DEFO should be.

 

[Jimzar]

Smashing cheers guys.

 

[ben_p]

new gear box time.

 

[nathanH]

mine sometimes does it, but i put it down to being to quick for the box or releasing the clutch to quickly before the gear has selected, only when you lose 3rd Id bother with a new box, If it aint broke, dont fix it. (that doesnt apply to everything tho)

 

[bmh.01]

Doubt the clutch will be covered, gearbox should be mine. They don't last long if you abuse them.

 

[Jimzar]

Yup its had a hard 20000 miles!!

Depends how much you deem as abuse mine had a fair old bit and its fine.

 

[fatboyslim]

Mine did this going into second when giving it some welly.
Just got it back thisevening, new gearbox under warranty

 

[richlawson]

my 172 cup did this twice

renault were not happy but did replace it under warranty both times

Well i'd deem fast and the furious style gearchanges and high revs abuse rather than being more gentle and fluid with it.

Box rebuild with new syncro's will set you back about £350 not including the labour to remove and refit the box, also while its off you may as well fit a new clutch to save labour costs in the long run

mine on crunches when shifting too quickly for the box from 1st to 2nd! its fine if i give it another half a second changing gear!

Yep they don't like being rushed, thats what kills them.

how long does it take to sort out the box and change the clutch by a specialist?

 

[edde]

7 hours or so to change the box and replace.

Box refurb takes a few days.

 

[RobT]

Got exactly this problem with my 197 after only 9k miles....must have had lots of chocolate left over to build some more gearboxes with. Trip to Renault soon I think!

do new boxes come with new clutches aswel mate?

 

[edde]

Nope there about £80 or so only ever use Renault one IMO.

 

[172.com]

Hmmm mine sometimes does that. I put it down to s**t driving and lifting off the clutch too soon. Makes me feel slightly better to know other people have had this lol.

 

[Bagus]

If the gearboxes fluid is changed with something "better" would that make any difference ?

 

[Jimzar]

Well when i got the 12000 mile service done they put new oil in cant mind what it was but it was f***ing expensive and it didnt make any diffrence!

 

[edde]

It can sometimes do depends realy.

Its worth a cheap try.

 

[DrR]

If you don't change quickly though, the revs drop on the car and then when you release the clutch car try's to slow down cos of low engine revs, surely this f***s it up more?

 

[Jimzar]

Hey guys. Iv not been back home long and when I booked it into get it checked out they said that because that it was doing it under such hard driving that it wouldnt be done under warranty. Were did you get it checked out/replaced under warranty? Need to get this done asap. Not going to be home long!! Away back to sea before december!

Its a Renault Nissan joint design.

I'd take it to another garage get a second opinion its not seemingly fit for purpose.

if u expect to get new gearbox or even new clutch, i wouldnt tell them you redline ur car in first firstly cause theres no point to it and secondly cause you have blantantly fuct ur own gearbox and now expect some1 else to pay for it

 

[RichMcc]

Had this on mine, crunch between 2nd, 3rd.
Got the box refurbed @ yozza with new syncro's and its sweet as a nut. cost about 350 ish for the box rebuild not including removal/fitting.
Also had a new clutch and its spot on, like a new box.

So you are saying that because i drive the car to the limit it should void any warranty?!!!

How much did the whole thing cost including removal/fitting? Or how much do you think it would cost?

 

[bmh.01]

You'll get it done under warrenty they'll just need some pushing into it, plenty of lines to go down really. Can try taking it to another stealers for a start and see if they'll do it, if they give the thrashing line then there just trying to get out of it. Don't offer them that for a start.

How are you supposed to get the quoted 0-60 time without quick gearchanges?, not fit for purpose etc. They've tried it with a few people and they will do it eventually.

 

[pinky]

wonder if you can do a part exchange with a new one, as its only 1 gear.

 

[Dan 172]

Phone Renault UK and complain and say what the dealer said. It's suppose to be a RenaultSport, how else are you suppose to drive them.

My gearbox has gone, at 40k of motorway driving.

You will get a refurbed one of renault.

Your looking around £400 for a garage to swap the box.

 

[Vern]

my 172 cup did this when i bought it from the stealers, also reverse did it for two week they tried to tell me this was normal, idiots after a few heated visits to the dealer they refurbed my box and all is ok now, this is certanly a common fault on 1*2's i wonder if renault have sorted this on the 197 etc...

 

[Jimzar]

So if i keep at them about it they will eventually change it!. Smashing cheers folks.

 

[Bloooor]

Mine did this just last night... Not sure whether I was just tired and didn't put it down properley will see what it like 2night.
