Hi fellow Cliosporters,
I am new to the Renault clio family and have been always interested in the little hot hatches and finally have just scraped enough to get into a entry level 2002 clio 1.4 16v 5 speed manual.was opting to get the sport but cant afford it at the moment.I noticed when I had brought the car that shifting into first was a bit hard so I decided to change the gearbox oil.have not worked on euro cars before and am not that mechanically minded to be honest but am keen to learn but I may have made a mistake on my first attempt and need some help from the fellow cliosporters that may have came across this problem so here goes,i am pretty sure I undid the wrong bolt and drained all the oil out but am not sure which oil I have drained and where to top it back up,after reading a few posts here I realised that I need a square head 8mm wrench to drain the manual gearbox oil from a clio which I did not do,i actually undid the bolt which is attatched to the gear selector spring and not sure which oil has leaked out and where to top it back up from.a bit embarrassing but I hope someone can help.
