Well I'm becoming restless at night because my daily driver has the 5th gear grind and I just flipped my 1st 100,000 miles two weeks ago. Tightening that nut has just been put on my soon to be done "to do" list. Shannon Y 16506 ---------------------------- 2b. Re: Transmission Shaft Nut Hole Posted by: "Martin Gutkowski - DMC Ltd" martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx heavenrest Date: Wed Aug 30, 2006 3:45 pm (PDT) It's a large nut and the shaft has a flat that it supposed to have the flange of the nut tapped into it. I guess they forgot to do it at the (Renault) factory. Let's be clear here - it's a known, but very rare problem - probably similar statistics to drivers side torsion bar failures I'd reckon. And none of us really lose any sleep over them do we? Martin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
