Gearbox Problem (2003 clio dynamique)

[allanil100]

Hi,

Can someone help me ive got a really bad problem with my 2003 clio dynamique.

Just breaking down the information for an easier read....................

Details on the car

2003 clio dynamique
Only covered 29,000 Miles
Lowered (on coils)

Gearbox Problem

Gearstick moves alot (A lot of play in the gearstick)
Its hard to put it into gear 1
The car struggles to set off
Ive already been through one gearbox already (cost me alot)

I would really appreciate any help even if theres some mechanics on here ill be willing to consider any quotes to get this problem fixed because some mechanics dont have a clue when they inspect my car.I was told to have the mounts checked?Is that right.

Should I take it to the main dealer?Do they charge too much to fix such a problem?

Once again any help is appreciated.

gearstick moving alot it normal

have you tried putting it into 2nd gear before slecting 1st? they can be awarkward

struggles to set off? how do you mean?

 

[allanil100]

Im being totally serious here the gearstick did that before the last gearbox went.It moves alot.

The car struggles to pull of in gear one.(e.g the car shudders like its gonna conk out)

The car also crunches when putting it in reverse.

What do you recommend cos I aint no mechanic.Should I go to main dealers?

 

[Fred@BTM]

crunching into reverse is common too if you rush it/ don't put the clutch all the way down

gearstick moving is 100% normal

But It moves back and forth like a pendulum!

 

[Fred@BTM]

Dogbone mount if you think its excessive, they do move but not that much.

 

[allanil100]

Where can I find this mount on the car?And how much will it cost to replace?

Underneath at the back of the bay, connects from the subframe to the back of the gearbox.
