Reconditioned Renault Mégane 1.6 Gearbox – 5-Speed Manual – Ref. JB1198

Reconditioned Renault Mégane 1.6 Petrol Gearbox – Reference JB1198

This reconditioned gearbox is designed for the Renault Mégane fitted with the K4M engine in 1.6 petrol, 1598 cm³; it corresponds to reference JB1198, also identified under OEM reference JB1198. The reconditioning process involves a full strip-down, thorough cleaning and a detailed inspection of every component. Wear items such as gears, synchromesh rings, bearings and seals are replaced, and the gearbox is then reassembled to manufacturer tolerances and bench-tested before dispatch. This robust gearbox is fitted to a wide range of Renault Group vehicles, making it a sought-after unit on the reconditioned parts market.

Signs that your 5-speed manual gearbox needs replacing

On a Mégane fitted with a 5-speed manual gearbox, several symptoms should raise concern: stiff or jerky gear changes, a crunching noise when downshifting, vibrations through the gear lever, difficulty finding neutral, or juddering felt under acceleration. A grinding noise in third or fifth gear, as well as a visible oil leak beneath the gearbox casing, are also common signs of a worn-out unit. These symptoms should not be ignored, as they often indicate advanced internal wear requiring a full gearbox replacement.

Exchange basis: a solution with no vehicle downtime

This gearbox, rebuilt to 0 km, is sold on an exchange basis: it is dispatched to your garage first, before your old gearbox is collected. Your vehicle or workshop is therefore never left without a solution. The old gearbox — casing or block intact — is only collected after the reconditioned unit has been delivered and fitted. Return of the old unit is required, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.
