Genuine Renault Sport Formula Renault 2.0 transmission tripod

The hazardous cost of a worn transmission tripod on a single-seater

In motorsport, and especially at the wheel of a Formula Renault 2.0, the drivetrain is subjected to massive radial and longitudinal stresses under hard acceleration and rapid gear shifts. The driveshaft tripod is the core component that allows the telescopic articulation of either the left or right driveshaft as the suspension travels through its stroke.

Continuing to run your car with a tripod that develops play, or opting for uncertified aftermarket alternatives, exposes you to severe technical failures:

• Destructive vibrations throughout the rear end, rapidly damaging gearbox bearings and wheel hubs.
• Loss of roller bearing alignment creating tight spots, tearing the rubber boot, and causing gearbox oil or grease leaks.
• Sudden driveshaft failure under heavy load, resulting in an immediate retirement from the race, collateral damage to the subframe, and critical on-track safety risks.

The uncompromising standard of the official Renault Sport catalog (Ref. 7711150539)

This factory component carries the official reference 7711150539. Forged from high-tensile steel and fitted with rollers machined to micrometric tolerances, it delivers thermal and structural endurance that standard road-going parts simply cannot match. Running exclusive, certified Renault Sport parts is the only approved methodology to preserve the technical integrity of your single-seater and clear technical scrutineering without issue.

Flawless versatility for your driveshaft maintenance routine

Designed with a perfectly symmetrical geometry, this Formula Renault tripod fits seamlessly onto either the left-hand side or the right-hand side of the race car. This allows you to streamline your inventory of spare parts in the paddock during race weekends or track events.

Frequently Asked Questions: Technical assembly tips from our specialists

How do you spot a failing transmission tripod?

Beyond routine visual inspections when removing the driveshafts, a worn 7711150539 transmission tripod reveals itself through noticeable axial play when checked by hand on jack stands, or via micro-clunks felt during transitions between acceleration and engine braking. At the very first sign of pitting, scoring, or marring on the roller needle bearings, replacement is mandatory.

What type of grease should be used when assembling the tripod into the housing?

Assembling a high-performance left or right transmission tripod requires a dedicated premium grease engineered for high pressure and high temperatures (typically molybdenum disulfide-enriched formula or as recommended by Renault Sport). Standard grease will instantly liquefy under intense kinetic heat, causing immediate destruction of the needle bearings.

Is it necessary to replace the cv boot at the same time?

Reusing an old CV boot and its clamps when replacing a tripod is a frequent mistake that ruins the entire repair. A boot that has already gone through multiple heat cycles may have microscopic cracks invisible to the naked eye, which will let the grease escape at high speeds, destroying your brand-new component instantly.
