Genuine Renault 1st Gear Layshaft Gear 35 Teeth - TL4 Gearbox Clio 3 RS

The TL4 gearbox is a central element of the Clio 3 RS driving experience. A smooth engagement of first gear is essential for starting off and for low-speed handling. When your first gear "jumps out" or makes a grinding noise, it's often a sign that the layshaft gear or its synchronizer is worn or damaged. At Optimiz Access, experts in repair and maintenance of sport gearboxes since 2010, we know that a faulty gear can lead to much more serious problems. That's why we offer this genuine new gear, a reliable solution to restore the perfect feel of your TL4 gearbox.

What you lose by ignoring a worn 1st gear

Ignoring the signs of a worn gear is not an option. Here's what you risk losing by not replacing it with a new genuine part:

• The Reliability and Safety of your Transmission

  A damaged gear can cause engagement problems, or even completely prevent first gear from being selected. The most serious consequence is the failure of the gear or other internal components, which can lock the gearbox and cause irreversible damage. A total gearbox failure is a very costly situation that immobilizes the vehicle.

• Driving Pleasure and Shifting Precision

  Nothing is more frustrating than a gear that jumps out or grinds. These faults detract from driving pleasure and betray the sporty character of your Clio RS. By replacing the layshaft gear with a new genuine one, you restore smooth and seamless shifting, worthy of the original behavior of the TL4 gearbox.

• Your Time and Money

  A small gear problem can very quickly turn into a full gearbox teardown and rebuild. The wear of one component can generate metal shavings that contaminate the rest of the oil, damaging the bearings and other gears. The preventative or quick replacement of this 1st gear saves you much more than the cost of the part alone.

Why choose this new genuine 1st gear?

As an internal transmission part, manufacturing quality is paramount. By choosing this new genuine Renault gear, you ensure:
