does anyone know when they are going to bring out uprated 172/182 gearbox parts

[richlawson]

hi every 172/182 i have had has crunched on gear changes when ragging it

i have heard this is such a common problem

luckly my 182 at the moment does not do this but would like to be able to change gear fast without having to worry so much

seams like the mesh is made of plastic it seems

I know the answer to this... never.

You have never been able to rush clio boxes and I doubt you ever will.

They are more than good enough for road use, and no works competition Renaults use Renault boxes anyway

anyone know of any ex-clio Cup sequentials? Would LOVE one!

It would be a pita on the road every day for normal use

why would they bring out a better box for an old car when they can continue to make money from all the other blown up ones? lol. basically there's no other choice, other than to take it easy on gear shifts... I'm a lot more sympathetic these days towards them, replaced 3-4 on the Williams alone

You can get a grp A box. Not sure on what is replaced in terms of parts but says it uses the standard casing with different internals. I dont imagine you will be getting alot of change out of 3k though.

It always used to be the case that broke under heavy use anyway, smashed the end of the case out from the inside.

For road/track use it might survive though, but I still wouldnt bother

mine have all been gears going and exploding diffs...

pita? Dunno what you mean by that.

But if what you are meaning is that it'd be horrible to drive everyday on the road, yeah, I know, but think of the gear change speeds!

Is it stronger then standard though?

You also get a choice of gear ratios and an LSD.

Well, ive never used a normal diff tbh.

The trouble is, it doesnt matter what you upgrade in the transmission. All you are going to do is move the point of failure if you put enough stress on the system.

If you get a bullet proof diff the case goes.
If you get a bullet proof case you start snapping driveshafts
If you get uprated driveshafts you start breaking the outer cv where the splined end goes into the hub
If you use thicker splined ends you start breaking wheel studs.

Upgrade everything and you go back to breaking the gearbox if you treat it rough enough

Pain in the ass.

Its noisy and the dogs would wear too quick using it everyday.

Its not as good as it sounds honestly

Don't abuse it and chnage the fluid for good stuff a few times.

There are uprated boxes out there but not Renault uprated ones realy.

what about approaching Quaife, as they do gear kits for pugs and citroens.

see if they would be interested in making a gear set up, slightly shorter ratio's too!

im on my 4th box in 30k miles, no gears have broke its been the casing twice, crown wheel and the diff.
