Clio Sport 182
Hi,
I've read a lot of people having problems witht he input shaft seals and I'm having a complete nightmare. my input shaft guide sheared off so I bought a replacement which didn't fit this one came with a seal built on but is to big to fit. I then bought a second one direct from Renault which is just a plain metal one with no seal. I believe this one is right, it has the same product number (plate 8200128328) as the one which came from it origionally. behind this was a seal which was marked 24,5 X 37,93 but is damaged so i cant see the rest. Renault seem to think there is no seal to stop the oil leaking through and i know that is not true. i also bought a new bearing to go with it for the input shaft also direct from Renault which is different to the one that is on there. this one is similar to a wheel bearing which is taprered and sits on a solid ring either side. but the one that is fitted on it at the moment the rollers sit directly on the input shaft? the internal measurement seems the right measurement but i don't want to strip the box to find that i cannot find the right bearing if this is the case as it seems like its just an updated version.
any help at all will be greatly appreciated as me nor my mechanic can seem to source the correct parts and Renaults only solution is buy a new gearbox directly from them which is definitely not happening.
