gearbox

[jim77]

my gearbox is being difficult, especially when cold, usually 2nd and 3rd gear.
the weird thing is sometimes it is fairly good, ive tried changing the gearbox oil but it made no differance.
has anyone else had these problems?

probably the syncros are worn, which will mean a re-build unfortunately. very common on the clios!

Yup, sorry. Renault stiched us up with particularly poor gearboxes I'm afraid. They often won't help you if the car's still in warranty period either. The expensive bit won't be having the 'box done (about £350), it will be removing and refitting it (£ouch). Consider sticking a new Renault clutch in there too while you're at it (one of the few things they can get right it seems).

the turbo's done this. im changing mine at the week end, luckily ive got a spare. looks like a rebuild.
