That clutch was bad but they judder when brand new so dont think it wont judder because it still will, i had a recon box with all new bearings only last 20-25k and i had a new luk clutch fitted at the same time but didnt bother with the clutch this time with only 20k on it, replaced the slave tho. All fun and games these vans

These gearboxes have been a problem since day 1 - I got told that to save money Renault used the Laguna 2.2 gearbox in the van when it was first built - but it was not really strong enough hence all the problems - from day 1 - BUT they did not redesign the gearbox or use a better / stronger one they just kept quiet about it and kept fitting them - and doing the bearings as warranty - My mate that worked at Vauxhall had 2 per week to do for years - It was ALL warranty work - it was cheaper to do the repairs until the van was out of warranty than to redesign the gearbox - but once the warranty is up it was the punters problem - shocking really !!

Just a big thanks to this video, I recently bought a Renault Trafic with the yellow AMAX already fitted, the ride was nothing short of awful! I just couldn't relax driving the van as I was watching for every pothole. There is absolutely no travel in these yellow springs at all. They are cheap for a reason. After looking at several other brands, I watched this video and decided to go with the H&R blue ones and I can only say it has transformed the van! It is still firm, but not a bone-shaking bang like the others. 👍
