Hello Everyone - Retro-Renault

Hello - Well, Heres Me - R19freak - A Newbie (nice Name For It!)

Just Joined Today, Hoping To Speak To Some Other Renault Lovers (although It Can Be Very Hard @ Times) I Need Some Encouragement!
Im A Bit Annoyed @ The Minit (a Nice Way To Put) Ive Just Spent The Last Week Removing, Fixing & Putting My Very Expensive New Modified F7p Engine Back Into My 19 16v After Only Doing 1230 Miles.
Had To Remove It 2 Weeks After Fitting It (took It France For A Bit Of Running In) Due To A Bad Oil Leak, Whinning Gearbox & A Faulty Starter Motor! So I Was Well Happy.
Now, To Top It All Off, Ive Just Got It All Back In, With A New Starter Motor, New Drive Shafts, A Supposid 55,000 Mile Gearbox, New Engine End Plate & Oil Seal & Few Other Bits & Guess What???????? No Reverse Gear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As I Said, Im Well Happy.
Oh Well, Now Its All Got To Come Back Out Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

reverse, have you adjusted the linkage or is it hitting the exhaust?

R19FREAK · 25th October 2006, 04:31 PM

hello mate. thanks for the reply.
no, i havent tried to adjust it, ive removed the linkage arm instead & tried to put it into reverse from the lower arm on the geabox - it just makes a grinding noise & then pops back out.
i have got a brand new gearbox which i got from ebay as a "new jb3" new in the crate. problem was i never checked it after buying it & when i came to fit it a year later, the bell housing was different, so i called someone i know @ my local renault dealer & gave him the part numbers. he told me its from an rsi clio or 19 but is only ever-so-slightly different.
im now going to look @ changing the bell housing over with a 16v version & seeing what happens.
thanks for the advise.

I sure do, ever trying to get cash to perfect the car only to get it right and have another disaster happen

Anyway enjoy ure time here.

lol I bet you a steak dinner you will not be able to change the bellhousing on it.

Just fit the box it will be fine, there will be a gap at the bottom but it'll be fine.

R19FREAK · 25th October 2006, 04:56 PM

Well, The Problem Is, I Like A Challenge. Thats Why Ive Got A 19 16v.
I'll Have A Go & See What Happens. I Might Be Lucky (i Need To Be!)
If It Comes To It, I'll Just Put My Old Box Back On For The Time Being Before I Find Myself A Williams Box.
I'll Let You Know How I Get On. Cheers
