Whats happened here? * PICTURES*

[J444HN P]

Hi,

Noticed my gearchange is a bit sloppy recently on the gearstick and noticed a 'movement' in the gearstick like the gearbox is moving around.

Took the undertray off and found most of the stuff in the pics caked in oil/mud. The rubber boot on the gear selector looks split aswell?

And i found this spring that seems to be snapped. i personally have no idea what its for?

Anyone shed any light on whats happened here and is it likely to be costly?

Thanks

That clip helps the gearstick feel firm and return to neutral, replace it and all will be fine

Tried to PM brun and west renaults last week and had nothing back from either.

Anyone know what the spring is called or a part no. so i can go to the dealers?

To go the dealers and look at a microfiche of the gearbox. If you can explain where it is I'm sure they'll find it easily.

Never thought of that, thankyou.
