Gear box problem

[Theo]

Guys just bought a new Clio sport in Sydney and travelled 2000 miles thus far. It is difficult to take this out of gear above 5500 RPM, is this nomal?

Do you mean its difficult to change gear? No it should be easy at all engine speeds. Take it back to the dealer if you arent happy.

Oh, and welcome to Cliosport

Thank you,

It is ok up to 5000 RPM, after that is becomes hard. The dealer told me I should not rev it that high!!Later on the advised that the car needs to settle in and let them know if it is still there at 10,000 klm. Any how it is going in on Thursday because it seems strange to me!

The only change I ever have a problem with is 2nd to 3rd, and for some reason I only miss that change when Im racing on a 1/4 mile strip!

Hi m8. Mine does the same thing sometimes, think its more a problem with the clutch not disengaging properly. Try just pressing the clutch in, without trying to change gear. It will probably act as if you have just released the throttle with out pressing the clutch.

Renault told me to wait until 6000miles as well, but I dont think that will solve it.

i have problems sometimes with 2nd to 3rd at 7000rpm, but its only happened twice when car had about 1000 miles, now over 2000 and it seems to have gone.
