3rd gear crunch!!

[Markyboi]

Just picked up my baby today!!! It crunches going into third!! It's only third that it does it!! I presume this isn't normal?? Lol!!

 

[J_gadd4]

i wouldnt like to say , but i know its a ******* to get it into third when you have your game face game on :giggle:

but very nice looking car though mate

Take it back.

It needs a new gearbox. Looking at circa a grand for that....

 

[gaz]

Or £300 for a new box from rsc off ebay

then fitting

 

[Mentalpen]

New box from renault is circa £2300

RSC is circa £300 + 5 hours to fit by someone who knows what they are doing.

Did you not notice it befor you bought it?

This. Did you test drive it?! Please say yes

 

[Stevoox]

This. Did you test drive it?! Please say yes

Hopefully from a dealer too, because if a private buy they can just say "sorry, sold as seen" then your in a pickle

You got your box sorted yet Jack?

 

[Markyboi]

Yes did test drive it almost 2 weeks ago!! Never noticed it then!! I've got warranty so that's not an issue!! Just wanted to double check with guys that know the car!!!!

 

[Gam]

Was it from a dealer Mark?
