[QUOTE="oscar, post: 172777, member: 2757"] 197's / 200's had major synchromesh baulk ring issues. i'm not going by other peoples speculation, just by my own experience of warranty repairs. they are the same boxes, the only revision was in gear ratio's with the 200 where the 1/2/3 5/6 were changed which made it a different part number in the same bellhousing, same shafts etc which were partially to blame for the problem with the input shaft being thicker at the end than at the start. the 200's seem to be more reliable than the 197's, but i just wanted to make you aware. renault should just buy their gearboxes from vag and then these clio's would be the dogs wallnuts :) either way, i'm sure you've got one of the good ones and i'm slightly jealous. regardless of these issues, i've always had a soft spot for them [/QUOTE]
