Genuine Differential Adjustment Shim Set - Renault Clio 3 RS

The risk of incorrect differential shimming on your Clio 3 RS

Ignoring the crucial shimming step when opening your gearbox is the fastest way to a major mechanical failure. Without the proper differential thrust washer set, you cannot compensate for the manufacturing tolerances of the gearbox casing or bearing wear. Excessive play causes vibrations and bearing noise, while too much preload leads to immediate overheating and the destruction of the differential bearings. Without these genuine Renault adjustment shims, the entire integrity of your transmission is compromised.

Renault Sport precision for a reliable transmission

The Renault Clio 3 RS is a precision machine that demands components equal to its performance levels. This adjustment shim kit is a OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part, the only one capable of providing the exact thicknesses required by the manufacturer's repair manual. Whether you are performing a standard rebuild or a technical customization with the addition of a limited-slip differential (LSD), these washers ensure that the load exerted on the bearing races remains within nominal tolerances for perfect traction.

FAQ: Frequently asked questions about differential shimming

When should these washers be replaced or adjusted?

Replacement is mandatory whenever you change the differential bearings, the casing, or when installing a new differential (such as Quaife or Gripper). Every assembly is unique and requires precise measurement.

Can I use standard hardware washers?

Absolutely not. Genuine thrust washers possess specific surface hardness and flatness to withstand the axial loads of the TL4 gearbox. A standard washer would crush under pressure, causing destructive play.
