Just a small update, I still haven't done anything with the gearbox, waiting on my friend to collect another box that he wants the synchros from and I'll take the 4th gear fixed and idle out of. I have done other trackdays since and it's been fine, slight crunch is still there but I just drive...

Yeah I was thinking it was going to be either of them, I'll start building the carts up

Great to see that all the gearbox woes are now behind yee and sorted! Where did yee buy the parts for your gearbox from? I've to start gathering my bits soon along with trying to source a 4th gear fixed and idle gear

How did he manage to do that? I'll need this for future if it's easier

Nope I've still got it sat open in the garage I need to bring it to a friend's parts cleaner and give it all a wash out and see what he thinks about some of the gears, a few look a bit worn and he'd know much better than I would on to replace or not. I was told a trick yesterday for undoing...

Here you might want the tl4 manual for that https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/p8lw5e7whsafs73j369t3/TL4-Gearbox-Technical-Manual.pdf?rlkey=2zkdf9rihnmropdc7cs81baly&e=1&dl=0

Today was the day I decided to split my old broken gearbox. It's fairly easy split, just set myself up and took my time. So my synchros seem fine but I think that's the least of my worries for now Only two of them are missing teeth but I need to give it a good clean and inspect any other...

Yeah that pretty much describes the issue I'm having! I wasn't 100% confident we had bled it correctly so I may have to give it another go. I was reading your thread about it too and it sounds like a fun problem It'll be another month before I get to test it out again so I have some spare time...

First day out with the "new" used gearbox from ktec went pretty good overall. A few test laps to make sure nothing leaked and a bolt check and I was pretty happy with how the gear changes felt. Thought I noticed a bit of notchyness if I changed very quickly from 2nd to 3rd, probably expected...

Won't lie, super envious of you getting that for 100 quid, damn you UK folks and the access yee have to better cars and parts for these Clios If you've the time and are using it as a spare there's no harm in splitting it and doing the synchros

Over the weekend myself and two friends went about replacing the gearbox in the Clio. It went smoothly for 3 lads with no experience in doing it but we still hit a few snags along the way, took us about 8 hours to drop the old one in and get in the new one Subframe was pretty easy to drop and...

There's one or two of them down south. One is a road going one but that got engine knock this week There's a red one that goes to mondello the odd time too but I haven't seen it out in about a year

Mine was fine for years so I was thinking it would never go just makes life easier now if I ever have issues in the future

So a small update as I haven't posted in a while, been trying to source a gearbox in Ireland, see if there's any good reconditioned ones online etc. I've ordered a used gearbox from ktec to get me by for the time being and so my car won't be stuck on a ramp while gathering bits for whatever's...

Anytime I've bedded in new pads or discs alone or together I've generally done what you say above, I get the discs good and hot with a blue tint to them and cool them down, that was on brembo hc discs now mind you and usually pbs pro race pads. Never had issues with warping or cracks etc. I...

What gearbox oil are you running actually? Just the Castrol 75w90? Be handy to know when I eventually get around to fixing mine

Second trackday outing of the year didn't exactly go to plan It was a clear enough day and pretty busy so off I went to bring the car out for a few warm up laps bring it back in and check the wheels etc after two laps. Headed back out for a bit more spirited driving 3 corners in and going from...

First trackday of the year was done on Saturday at mondello park. Over the Christmas break I'd got the Clio checked over for bits of suspension wear, general check over and a service. All it needed was two bushes replaced on the passenger side wishbone which I had a feeling might be worn out It...

It's not a bad track and only about an hour drive from the Dublin ferry terminal! It suits lower to mid horsepower cars best, there usually 4/5 clios at every trackday there now

Unfortunately not sorry! Here's a video on it that kinda covers it which hopefully helps you out! The hardest part was trying to hold the weight of the unit and get the bolts threaded then to hold the weight
