2nd Gear Ratio SADEV Sequential Gearbox Clio R3 - 7711167241

The Cost of a Worn Second Gear Ratio in Motorsport

In motorsport, and especially in rallying, the second gear is highly stressed during hard acceleration out of tight corners and intense braking phases. Continuing to race with a 2nd gear ratio showing signs of pitting on the teeth or wear on the dog faces inside your SADEV sequential gearbox is an error that can cost you dearly. Without this new genuine manufacturer gear, you expose yourself to gear pops under load, refusal to lock into place, and ultimately, a major internal failure that would destroy the entire shaft assembly of your Renault Clio R3. Do not waste a full season's effort and avoid a transmission rebuild worth thousands of euros because of a neglected gear component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – SADEV Gearbox Overhaul Advice

When is it imperative to replace the second gear pinion?

The replacement of the 2nd gear ratio is required as soon as a visual inspection shows signs of wear (pitting) on the gear teeth faces or a pronounced rounding on the dog engagement teeth. Waiting until the gear pops out before taking action significantly increases the risk of damaging the internal selector forks.

Is this part number compatible with other sports vehicles from the brand?

No, this second gear ratio under part number 7711167241 is exclusively calibrated for the Clio R3 SADEV sequential transmission. Precision is absolute in the performance world: for instance, two completely different spark plug models exist for the Renault Mégane 4 RS depending on its exact original configuration. To prevent any ordering error, please contact our team with your vehicle identification number (VIN) to get an exact match.
