I was quoted £2000+ from a gearbox specialist to repair mine, hence why I went down the dealer and Renault uk way. Karl quoted me £960+vat for a box without exchange
obviously a joke!!! they werent serious by that quote....

I've heard that it can be just as much to repair as to replace tbh.
Im kinda stuck really as i need my car for work so if it goes off the road i will need a courtesy car which is why i'm going down the dealer/ ruk route.
Mine seems to be worse when it gets warm,i know i'm clutching at straws here but would a slightly heavier oil help at all like a 75/90?
theres no crunch if i'm gentle with the gearchange into 4th so maybe the syncro is only slightly worn as opposed to sh***ed.
its worth a try to a better oil - try opie oils on here for a recommendation :thumbup1:

I've got 2 litres of fuchs sintofluid to go in to try recommened by opie but it's still 75/80 not sure if it's better than the oem Elf oil.Or to try a 75/90?
Thanks for your help fox

They were serious parts alone 1200 + vat. The dealer drained the oil and it was full of swarf and they have had the car since Wednesday and no sign of getting it back either so not a quick process tbh
It's a shame that you can't buy a quaife kit or something similar
I paid a whole £550 to get mine fixed after the 3rd n 4th crunch![]()
Don't "phew" yet, your symptoms are very similar to mine and changing the 'box oil made no difference. No dwarf in mine either.
