Gearbox broken? We help you identify and order your model
However, the Renault Captur is not exempt from the usual wear and tear on certain parts, starting with the gearbox , an essential part of the vehicle.
But how do you know if the gearbox in your Renault Captur needs repair? EDEN BOITES explains it all!
Renault Captur gearbox models
The Renault Captur is available with two transmission systems: 5- or 6-speed manual gearboxes, or 7-speed EDC (Efficient Dual Clutch) automatic gearboxes. The type of gearbox generally varies according to generation and model specifications.
The Renault Captur's automatic gearbox features a double clutch for smooth, seamless gear changes. This technology offers comfortable driving, improved performance and reduced emissions.
The Renault Captur can also be fitted with a manual gearbox. This is the case with the Renault Captur 1.5 DCI gearbox.
Renault Captur gearbox malfunction: how to detect it?
Whether manual or automatic, the Renault Captur gearbox is subject to wear and tear and can fail. There are several signs that your gearbox needs repair , such as :
- Difficulty shifting gears: this problem may indicate that your clutch is worn or that the transmission fluid level is below standard;
- Unusual noise : the sound produced by your gearbox includes a cracking or popping sound, which may indicate a lack of lubrication in the mechanism;
- An oil leak : requires immediate inspection to prevent further damage;
- Vibrations : these may indicate imbalance or wear in the gearbox's internal components.
How can I repair my Renault Captur gearbox efficiently?
You've identified the signs of malfunction, which is an excellent starting point. Next, it's essential to contact a professional and clearly explain the faults you've observed. It's important to note that not all faults automatically require the complete replacement of the gearbox: a simple repair is sometimes sufficient.
To begin with, dismantling the gearbox involves removing the center console and gearshift, unscrewing the bolts and disconnecting the gear sensors and battery. The precise steps depend on the gearbox model.
Warning: in most cases, gearbox repairs involve draining the gearbox before handling!
Once the defective components have been identified and replaced, reassembly of the gearbox is a painstaking process which involves repositioning the gear train, securing the bearings, fitting the driveshafts, and filling the housing with fresh oil. Special care is needed to avoid damage!
If in doubt, don't hesitate to contact a professional mechanic who will take care of your vehicle.
Repair or replace Renault Captur gearbox?
