Renault play this game with a lot of their parts. It’s great for upgrades but only because someone took a chance to see if it work! Great video. Lots of detail.

Good stuff my man 👍🤜

[@berttnotbought804]

Thanks man! I can’t wait to put some power to it and see how it does

[@sleeper_ep3641]

Nice video! Even tho it’s 1year old lol, I would recommend using mtf3 or 0w40 oil for gearset assembly and not wd40, but still awesome video 👍

[@berttnotbought804]

You’re right. I should go back through it all. It does need to come back apart to install the LSD and the clutch assy. I will do this. I initially used it for the water displacement properties because I knew it would be sitting for a while.

[@rehcvlee6577]

When u spin the shaft by hand, is all the gears and reverse smooth? I'm rebuilding my own trans with aftermarket gears and my 1-4 gear is easy to spin but 5/6/ reverse take some effort to spin it. Is that normal or what should I look for?

[@berttnotbought804]

This dogbox is incredibly loose compared to something more like an OE set up. But if you are experiencing drag like that go back through and double check your synchro collars and synchro springs. I’ve seen these transmissions so weird stuff if they are not installed in the right direction. They will go in backwards.

[@rehcvlee6577]

@berttnotbought804 I've done like 5 attempts of redoing it. I'm 99% sure everything is in correctly . 5/6/reverse doesn't really have drag. It's just not as smooth as the other gears. I forgot to mention, all new carbon syncrhos and bearings.

[@berttnotbought804]

Carbon synchros bite extremely easily. That and the ratio of 5/6 alone will make it hard to turn. I think you’re in good shape!

[@darcmass3290]

I wonder how loud it is for street use...

[@berttnotbought804]

We will find out. Lol they definitely aren’t quiet in other videos but they aren’t terrible. It’s still a helical cut so that helps but there are much fewer teeth and they’re only half as steep an angle as factory.

[@midlifekrisisgarage]

How much was your kit?

[@berttnotbought804]

Around 5k USD for just the gear stacks and input shaft. No FD or diff.

[@berttnotbought804]

Call Jeff Owen at GEAR-X USA. Let him know I sent you. He reached out to me and has a lot of available options that are SQS and others that are cheaper and more reasonable options as well!

[@wickedsatan1]

Did you find power rating? Do they have 1-4 turbo ratios??

[@berttnotbought804]

They have been known to hold over 1000 and the do have a turbo drag kit available

[@islandboi1988]

Do you by chance know if SQS has a power rating for this gear set?

[@berttnotbought804]

For this one I don’t. Unfortunately… BUT IM GONNA FIND IT! 😂

[@teammusketeers]

@@berttnotbought804 right answer 👌 👏 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@dozzerx3754]

You make it look so easy even a dumb old parts guy could do it. 😂

[@berttnotbought804]

The parts guy is the only reason this thing can work man! And I’ve got the best one this side of the Mississippi🤘🏻🇺🇸
