    L reg 1.8 16v clutch problems

    here goes,brought valver had gear selection problem checked cable and peddle fine.
    Had clutch changed which was a genuine renault one matched up to old one im told by garage.
    drives but been told its not clearing enough so it is sometimes hard to engage in to gear.
    has i was on my hols when garage changed clutch they changed it even though there was nothing wrong with the old one.
    having known no history of vehicle im none the wiser,so could it be that there may be more than one choice of clutch for this vehicle ? or do i need a high performance clutch help.
    can supply renault part no of this helps any one ?

    do you have enough oil in the gearbox ?

    and it does make sense to change the clutch whilst its off cos its a big job that you dont really wanna do again and it at least rules it out, or should do

    The garage has been going donkeys years and they cant work it out,that why they suggested i look in to it and see if there is another clutch on the same year has some parts cross over on months even though in the same year

    lol.. worth a shot... just be prepared for an absolute git of a job. Plan a whole day for it just in case you have a problem. You most likely won't need a whole day, but it is a nightmare job for something you would think should be pretty darn simple.

    Yup mine needs doing again :( Pretty sure it's a sign of a knackered clutch. Can't afford to do either of them this month, totally screwed financially, trying to support my wife and myself until my wife starts work eek.

    After being to uni, returning home to finish of degree at another uni, I have only just moved out when I was 29 from my parents! It's costing me everything I have and more, but so glad I'm out lol.

    £500 rent + water + lecky + council tax + 2 cars insurance + 2 cars fuel + 2 peoples food.

    Overall without overtime (not had any so far), I get about £22.5k per year as a software developer. That doesn't go anywhere I can tell you.
