gearbox circlip

[105e]

Im not familiar with all the g/box codes, would my phase 1 172 benefit from the plate ( that's available on ebay) that bolts /screws on and holds the circlip in, cheers.

Not unless the clip comes out.

Is it not worth doing before and so prevening the circlip coming out.

i suppose you could fit one for piece of mind even if the clip hasnt popped.....yet

I've seen a few where the bolts that secure the plate have come out or the head has snapped off and destroyed the box. They're potentially an installation issue though.

Just fitted one, fingers crossed it holds and does its job.
What is the car being used for? If its mainly road driving the circlip should be ok, rallying etc the clip is more likely to come off

Only a road car, but I may like to increase the power one day.
