Has your gearbox been replaced? Yes or no?

[Matt197]

15,800 miles
58 (2008 )
Second gearbox, original one was replaced at 14,000 miles due to it crunching into 3rd gear over 3,500RPM November last year.

Just a bump, to get as many replies / votes as possible:thumbup:

2009 58 plate, ~26k, original box (to my knowledge as car was 12 months old when I bought it). Still feel great. :thumbsup:

Like a good Malt it gets better with age

55kkm, 8.2008.

Original gearbox, running on Castrol TAF-X for 30kkm now...

197 after (guessing) 15k?
200 after (guessing again) 9k?

34.000 56 org box

Mine packed up after 12k

R27 '07
34k miles
Original box so far, I wouldn't mind if it packed up though while the car is still under warranty

I had a new gearbox in my 197 when it only had about 18kmiles on it in 2010!
Second gear started crunching so a new box was fitted under warranty

 

[N0ddie]

Quite a shocking statistic. A third of Clios with box failures?

 

[Robo_#1]

Yeah thats pretty shocking, 25% gearbox failure, not something to be proud of...

On a brighter note, mines on 25k and still going strong

 

[james_h]

57 with 19,700 and original box - feels tight and smooth.

 

[182michael]

Mine has just hit 40k it's good bar when's it cold in the morning.

they make them from tissue paper i bet there is more research to be done here.

who out of the replacements has tracked there car?

I thought I would bump this thread & add a "yes" to the poll. I bought my 197 ( 08 plate ) in September, it has done 31k . Within weeks I noticed it was gear crunching when going into 4th. It does not do it all the time just occasionally . I have had it checked recently at my Renault dealer, by the garage & the warranty assessor. I am having a new G/box fitted on the 3rd Jan ( 50% warranty / 50% Renault UK) .

Had her since May '10 (197 on 30,689M), no problems so far *touch wood* (39,411M).

A couple of trackdays and some long driving trips during that time too.

Original 'box as far as I know...

 

[N0ddie]

Touch wood ours is still going strong (1st box). Having the oil dropped and changed @ 2nd service. Hopefully filling it with some better quality oil should extend its life.

42 k on a 56 reg and okay
