Genuine Renault Differential Shim Kit - Clio 2 RS

Why is differential shimming critical for your Clio 2 RS?

Ignoring whining noises or vibrations from your gearbox can be a costly mistake. Without precise adjustment using genuine shim washers, you expose your Renault Clio 2 RS to premature wear of the differential bearings, or even a brutal failure of the JC5 gearbox during track days or spirited driving.

The importance of Genuine Renault Sport parts

In the field of bespoke performance and maintenance for high-end vehicles, precision is measured in hundredths of a millimeter. This adjustment shim collection allows you to compensate for machining tolerances and ensure optimal differential preload. Using lower-quality aftermarket parts means risking imperfect alignment and internal overheating.

What symptoms indicate a shimming defect?

• Bearing noise that increases with vehicle speed.
• Difficulty shifting gears during high-performance driving.
• Oil leaks at the driveshaft seals.
