just been goin through the threads and reading martins 2nd gear thread, made me think, when im driving my gears are ok but ive got about 10 speed bumps around my way and theres no other way to my house, anyway when i go over the bumps fast 2nd gear pops out 2 neutral???

its also well difficult to select 2nd when the car isnt warm? but as i said its only 2nd gear popping out when juddering? also pops out if you kangaroo up the road and dont have your foot on the throttle? ? ?

2nd gear syncro?

how long till it dies? new lump planned for feb-march time will it last as im broke!?!?!?!?

this has been a prob on 3 out of the 5 clios ive owned! :evil:

I have the same problem with mine mate and my box was recond just 10k ago. There is alot of engine movement at the moment though. Think somets snapped in the bay. Maybe the box mount :shock:

probably dog bone, that causes most hassle with engine moving etc! cheap as chips n piece of piss to fit i believe!!

I have the same problem with it popping out of second gear and when I change down into 2nd from 3rd I have to be creeping along at about 15mph no more than 2k or it just crunches.

Did have an engine mount replaced a while ago and it felt much stronger and stopped popping out of gear but only for about 30 minutes of driving then it was ****ed again.

Anyone have any suggestions other than the gearbox being ruined?!?

Or get an uprated one from HP - they stop movement pretty well, hehe.

Isn't the dog bone just the same as the engine mount?

How would that stop the crunching when changing down from 3rd to 2nd?

Hope someone has a cheaper solution than getting a new box or having it reconditioned!!

theres 2 engine mounts on the clios, one on top offside of cylinder head and other under the battery on nearside holdin gearbox. the dog bone is more of a stabiliser and is at the bottom on the back-middle of the engine next to the downpipe of the exhaust. itsnot load bearing but holds the engine steady on the two load bearing mounts, stops it twisting!
