    Gearstick can move around while in gear

    Got it done a few days later - mechanic knew what it was straight away. I believe he reattached the clip and put a cable tie or two around it to keep it in place. Thanks again for the help.

    Gearstick can move around while in gear

    Yes I will do that, thanks for the guide image I'm sure it will come in useful. Any chance of damaging the gearbox if I drive with the stick flopping around for a few days?

    Gearstick can move around while in gear

    Yes he drove it, it was actually fine for 2 weeks before doing this. You think it's the selector rather than the gearbox? I'm not that familiar with how it works:sweatsmile:

    Gearstick can move around while in gear

    No a mechanic did the work. He removed the gearbox, which I took to a transmissions specialist garage, and the same mechanic then reinstalled it.

    Gearstick can move around while in gear

    So 2 weeks ago I got the 3rd & 4th gear synchro rings replaced in my 200 gearbox. While driving (quite gently on motorway) today I noticed the stick felt funny moving into 6th, kind of mushy when pushing it right. When pushing the stick to the left in neutral and letting go, it snaps back to...

    After trawling through the site and then 10 pages of google results, I gave up and swapped to bing - and immediately found this :sweatsmile: http://www.clio197.net/threads/clio-rs200-springs-can-you-identify-these.55227/ So that would be: 197 non-cup front: blue/green 197 non-cup rear...

    Spring Colour Codes

    Hello, I'm looking to change my shocks/springs to non-cup and need some information on the colour markings. The 197 buyer's guide has great info on 197s but I can't seem to find info on 200s. As far as I can gather the spring markings are: 197 non-cup front: blue/green 197 non-cup rear...

    Strange grinding noise on half load

    If it stops when you put your clutch in the clutch might not be being engaged properly, check if your brake fluid is low. Driveshaft will still be turning with clutch in so if it was the problem it would likely still make noise. If they had the gearbox taken out but didn't put new clutch in...

    197: Wipers are not wiping all water away.. stripes in windscreen.

    Having this issue as well...worried it might be a shallow scratch from something hard that got stuck on the wiper, as no amount of cleaning makes it disappear

    197: Car pulling right (wheel aligment done 2 times)..

    I had a similar problem that alignment didn't fix....turned out to be a loose wheel bearing on front NS, replacing it immediately solved the issue.
