[matthews87]

realli?? is that fitted at renault? qutie cheap if it iz, if not how much loookin at 4 fittin? thanx

 

[Daz]

Fitting will be quite a bit I think.

I thought they were about £400/£450+VAT from Renault (supply only), exchange item - so you give them your old one.

 

[edde]

Thats supply only and its an exchange as Daz said. Fitment depends who you go to your looking at about £250 to £400 with a new clutch (might as well change it IMO)

 

[matthews87]

I was quoted £550 and £600 by two Renault specialists for the Clutch alone!

Yep they charge a funtune labour rate and its listed as a 6hr hjob chnagiung the whole gearbox doesn't take any more time though than just a clutch.
Shop around and you'll find some places will do it for £300.

Check for sure that firstly the noise isn't just a wheel bearing. It should be noise when turning one direction, and the quieten off when turning the other.

As for the loss of power in 3&4, dunno. If it was transmission, I would expect a (fairly loud) noise to co-inside loss of performance. Are you sure you just don't notice it in 1&2, and never reach that rev in 5?....

Just a thought

 

[matthews87]

its not wheel bearing noise had those both done, my m8 seems to fink the gear box is ok n that the flatspots are my clutch slipping?

 

[Jonny1]

Seems fair...
