Nice educational video John, well done on showing the great work of Ian Peck. These lads are highly recommended and qualified. If you’ve not been trained to do this work, don’t even attempt it. You need experience and the tools. Thanks John
That clutch was bad but they judder when brand new so dont think it wont judder because it still will, i had a recon box with all new bearings only last 20-25k and i had a new luk clutch fitted at the same time but didnt bother with the clutch this time with only 20k on it, replaced the slave tho. All fun and games these vans
These gearboxes have been a problem since day 1 - I got told that to save money Renault used the Laguna 2.2 gearbox in the van when it was first built - but it was not really strong enough hence all the problems - from day 1 - BUT they did not redesign the gearbox or use a better / stronger one they just kept quiet about it and kept fitting them - and doing the bearings as warranty - My mate that worked at Vauxhall had 2 per week to do for years - It was ALL warranty work - it was cheaper to do the repairs until the van was out of warranty than to redesign the gearbox - but once the warranty is up it was the punters problem - shocking really !!
