Renault Clio gearbox code

[Droid]

Hi guys, i'm in need of a new gearbox & i've been told i have to get the gearbox code so that i can get a match. Do any of you know where i can find this? I've been on the phone to my local Renault, who were as unhelpful as ever.

Any help appreciated, thanks.

What clio have you got?

It's a bit odd/complete & utter bull that they can't find the code for yours as they'd be able to find out what the model number the car is on their parts software from your reg number

I've got a copy of the parts software, just look at the VIN plate & tell me what the number at the top inside the oval is & I'll be able to tell you the correct gearbox code
On the older mk1's the VIN plate is under the bonnet & iirc the newer ones have them in 1 of the door jambs.



There's probably a long list of other gearboxes from other renaults that will fit yours as well
