SADEV Reverse Idler Shaft Bearing - Clio 2 V6 Trophy

Why failing to replace your SADEV idler bearing risks destroying your gearbox

On a purpose-built racing machine like the Renault Clio 2 V6 Trophy, every component within the sequential gearbox undergoes extreme stress. By neglecting to replace the reverse idler shaft bearing, you expose the system to increasing mechanical play. Over time, this can lead to gear misalignment, unusual noise, or even a major internal failure of your SADEV transmission during track sessions.

Ignoring the wear on this part means losing shifting precision and risking the total breakdown of your sports vehicle. Why jeopardize an entire gearbox for a preventive maintenance bearing? Using an original SADEV part is the only way to guarantee the mechanical integrity of your drivetrain.

SADEV Quality: Motorsport Excellence

Unlike standard industrial bearings, this SADEV bearing is manufactured to strict tolerances to withstand the specific loads of the reverse idler within a sequential gearbox. Its durability is the result of SADEV's extensive experience at the highest levels of global competition.
