just change it as said, dont think there is any way of actually checking the level :S
Ph1 track 172
the filler hole is tiny lol,
not enough room for a finger,
and i doubt a cable tie is going to give you good refrence,
on the other hand,
unless its leaked out, its in there,
gearboxes dont need that much oil,
i lost most of mine, and it still drove to the garage fine,
only sign is when its too low,
the car wont go into gear basically,
if in doubt, just have it changed, 2 second job mate

lol! Right hand side of the engine mate, It bolts to the side of the block, If you look on it you'll see a plastic screw which you can undo by hand.. not sure where it is on the RS's but its normally at the front of the gearbox. Undo that and pour gear oil till it starts coming out then stop, thats how you know the level, oh and make sure its parked on a level surface when you're doing it.
right if your looking at the engine from the front, move to the passenger side of the car, to the gearbox, (you may have to remove your airbox if you cant fit your hand down) and sticking out the front of the gearbox (ie facing towards the front of the car- pointing at the radiator) there will be a plastic butterfly bolt, undo this and put your little finger in the hole, and try to feel for the oil level, if its to the correct level it should be level with the hole
I just got some new gear box oil for my 5 year service - Redline MTL 70W80 from Opie Oils

Oilman's b**ch?
''Forget mods, oil is the answer'' :rasp:
Lol, tbh the gearbox is a complete sack of s**t in the RS clios, bearing in mind Renault say the oil never needs changing you would be amazed the amount of difference a gearbox oil change makes after 65k. Its still a s**t gearbox but it feels alot smoother now and makes the car more enjoyable to drive.
