In detail: do-it-yourself gearbox repair Renault lagoon from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.
It's no secret that automatic transmission repairs start at $ 1,500, which is not acceptable for the 19th. In addition, I have the sad experience of double repairing automatic transmissions on Renault Laguna. Both times I gave away 1500+ - $ 100. In addition, you pay for the details invented by the technical center. The car skidded in first gears. On the third - fourth I drove normally until the first traffic light, then everything was from the beginning.
So the repair itself:
The hardest part is to remove the box. Here alone can not cope -
instructed the garage service (remove - deliver 7000r.) took the box and
started
1. The bagel has already been removed. We unscrew and remove the round cover from the seven
screws. It is pulled out with two 10 bolts. You will see and understand.
2. We take out the so-called gravity head, carefully and horizontally - maybe
crumble before you know how it works. And disassemble
have to. The thing is apparently German.
3. The gravity pump is easy to disassemble and contains three clutch packs. In my
the case was a burnt out middle package responsible for the second or third
speed. Its replacement + support ring cost
(1500 rub.) Spare parts in Transmatic.ru The support ring apparently always bursts
into many pieces. There is one more clutch pack far inside the box but
I did not touch him.

Before repairing the gearbox on Renault Laguna, it is necessary to carry out an initial diagnosis of the gearbox and make sure that it is faulty or requires repair.
If, after diagnostics, it turned out that the problem is actually in the gearbox, and not in the clutch, then we will repair the Renault Laguna gearbox within 2-4 days. The final date will depend on the availability of spare parts necessary for the repair of the Renault Laguna gearbox in our warehouse.
Before repairing the Renault Laguna gearbox, we remove the box, wash, disassemble and troubleshoot. It is after this that we announce the list and cost of spare parts for gearbox repair.
The warranty for the repair of the Renault Laguna gearbox is 1 year from the date of completion of the repair work and the transfer of the car to the owner.
The cost of repair (bulkhead) of the Renault Laguna checkpoint excluding spare parts:

Renault is a large automotive concern with a history of more than a hundred years. The range of automatic transmissions used by Renault is quite wide. These are the developments of firms specializing in automatic transmissions and joint developments with the Peugeot / Citroen concern. Renault has different automatic transmissions, there are both "indestructible" models and cheap, unreliable ones.
Renault cars have different automatic transmission models
Renault Megan is also equipped with a JF011E CVT. This is a successful development of the Nissa subsidiary Jatco. Installed on cars with engines up to 2.5 liters. The JF011E variator is considered one of the best in the world and differs from analogues in its reliable design, unpretentiousness and cheap price. Among continuously variable transmissions, JF011E and its modifications are real monopolists, in fact, they have captured the market.
This variator is highly reliable and used correctly. If the Renault Megan automatic transmission undergoes timely maintenance, it can be operated over 250,000 kilometers. The Megan CVT repair rate is very low.
Most of the cases of maintenance and repairs of the Renault Megan variator end with the change of oil, filters and sump gaskets. Filters vary in size or due to different pallet designs.
The Renault Megan CVT filter is reusable and changes only when the oil is burnt. The remains of the adhesive layer of the clutches cannot be removed from the filter. Changes annually or every 30,000 kilometers.
Oil purity is critical for the Renault Megan CVT. Working on old oil is invisible to the driver, but will quickly destroy the variator.
Renault Megane is equipped with a CVT JF011E
The stepper motor (responsible for adjusting the position of the belt and the gear ratio) quickly develops its resource. After running out, the variator stops adjusting the speed and freezes at one number. Fortunately, its replacement and diagnosis is possible without removing the box.
High pressure oil pump. With its abnormal operation, the pressure decreases and the belt begins to slip. Only pump replacement helps.
The big problem with the Renault Megan CVT is the breakage of the belt holder - they are not produced, they are not restored.
Teflon rings are also a consumable item. Without their timely replacement, the clutches quickly burn and the box needs repair.
When the Renault Megan CVT overheats, the speed sensor depletes its resource.
The belt is the most important consumable; only BOSCH produces them. In comparison with the first generations of variators, the durability of the belt has increased significantly. But still it is not more than 150,000 kilometers. When used in winter, the belt breaks down a little earlier. If you bring the box to the point where the belt develops, things will get even worse.
Renault Megane with CVT JF011E
It is very dangerous to drive on an unheated CVT, especially in winter. As well as overheated. For frying regions, it is better to equip the variator with an additional cooling radiator. Do not drive the CVT over 160 km / h.
Renault Logan comes with an AL4. This is a very old development of the Peugeot / Citroen concern, which began to be produced in 1999. The AL4 automatic transmission is designed for small cars with front-wheel drive. The design of the Logan automatic transmission is very simple and has a low cost price. It was intended to accustom European consumers to automatic transmissions.
One of the main disadvantages of the Logan automatic transmission is the use of a heat exchanger. The transmission is initially operating in extreme thermal conditions and is very sensitive to overheating. The increased risk of overheating occurs for these transmissions after 80,000 kilometers on a new box. When using the Logan automatic transmission without overheating, it is practically eternal. Therefore, during the first overhaul, the heat exchanger is replaced with a radiator.
Mineral oil is used for this box.
Renault Duster automatic transmission is a modified DP0 transmission called DP8.
Renault Duster is equipped with DP8 automatic transmission
This automatic transmission is mainly used for all-wheel drive vehicles. Many design and technical flaws in the DP0 transmission for Renault Duster have been eliminated.
The weak point of the Renault Duster automatic transmission is the pressure solenoid regulator. Their resource is rather small, they work in a tense mode, in comparison with the rest of the solenoid group. If the pressure solenoid on the Renault Duster automatic transmission fails, it will begin to supply increased pressure in the interior of the automatic transmission, which can lead to its rapid failure.
The bushings in the Renault Duster automatic transmission function as seals. When these bushings wear out, they begin to leak oil, which leads to a whole chain of problems inside the Renault Duster automatic transmission. The packets begin to receive less pressure, the computer opens the solenoids to the full cross-section, the pump starts constantly operating at full power. As a result, the clutches are quickly destroyed on the Renault Duster automatic transmission, which then contaminate the inside of the box with their remnants. The pump depletes its resource very quickly, and the insides of the valve body are quickly washed out by large streams of contaminated oil due to abnormal operation of the solenoid. With any repair of the Duster automatic transmission, they must be diagnosed with their condition. At the first signs of wear, they are replaced in a set.
The hydraulic unit really does not like dirty oil and overheating. From overheating, the metal of the plate can lead, the valves will wedge, it can break off the springs.
If the problem is started and the box has been operating for some time on dirty oil or under high pressure, then it is necessary to change the clutches. Their wear occurs evenly, even under extreme conditions, and they are changed as a set. To destroy the clutches, just a few hours of driving on an overheated box is enough. In such a situation, the brake band is usually also changed.
With aggressive acceleration and slipping, O-rings (rear covers, for example) often fail, which can also lead to oil starvation.
Since 2000, Renault Laguna has been equipped with a five-speed automatic AW55-50SN from Aisin. Initially, it was run in Volvo cars and in the first years a lot of problems and shortcomings were solved. At first, the Renault Laguna automatic transmission often suffered from the ingress of antifreeze into the oils. By themselves, the boxes from Aisin are usually ideal, but when you interfere with their settings for the cars of other engineers, non-ideal settings and modes can be selected for it.
Renault Laguna is equipped with a five-speed automatic transmission AW55-50SN
Renault Laguna hydraulic plates did not live long before the last plate modification. There are many modifications. A common symptom of abnormal operation of the Renault Laguna valve body is premature failure of the iron due to insufficient pressure. Dirty oil can eat up the valve ports, causing the plungers to wedge and the gearbox to suffer from oil starvation. The main symptom is usually bumps and delays when shifting into third gear.
Renault Laguna hydraulic plates are usually not rebuilt. Even their diagnostics are very complicated and expensive, not to mention repairs. Therefore, it is best to periodically clean the hydraulic plate and change the oil. If the valve body is not serviced, then the abnormal operation of the valve body can damage the insides of the Renault Laguna box.
Problems with the pump follow in popularity. Usually the pump cover gland and bushing are changed. Usually they are changed when a Renault automatic transmission overhaul is required.
During the overhaul of the Renault Laguna automatic transmission, the torque converter must be repaired. For older machines, it is also necessary to replace clutches, steel discs and clutches.
During overhaul of automatic transmission AW55-50SN, it is necessary to repair the torque converter
The automatic transmission iron is very reliable, usually only a set of bushings is ordered.Aggressive driver can kill the rear planetary gear. The wear of the drums occurs due to the abrasion of the Teflon rings, which leads to burnout of the clutches.
These automatic transmissions in the hands of a calm and disciplined driver will drive for a very long time.
Since 2007, Renault Laguna has been equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission JF613E from Jatco. It is found on Nissan and Mitsubishi cars with engines up to 3.5 liters.
This automatic transmission is a direct competitor to Toyota transmissions, surpassing them in terms of cheapness and reliability. The term for the first overhaul usually occurs after 200,000 with a timely oil change.
This box, like all modern ones, combines an electronic control unit and a valve body in one case. This is its main problem - the more complex the node, the less reliable it is. For this class of automatic transmission, the torque converter lock is rarely activated and is used sparingly. Solenoids live longer than usual, usually before the first major overhaul. The computer and the firmware do not use the box to its fullest, thereby greatly extending its resource, which is not typical for modern machines.
DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON REPAINING!
Now you yourself can remove any scratch from the body of your car in just 5 seconds.
Since 2007, Renault Laguna has been equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission JF613E from Jatco
Nissan engineers have introduced several developments into this box that have improved acceleration and reduced fuel consumption. This kills the torque converter friction lining faster, which in turn quickly contaminates the oil. But refer only to automatic transmissions, which are exposed to unnecessary stress due to aggressive drivers.
The iron of this automatic transmission is very reliable and is designed with a huge margin of safety. The oil changes every 50,000-60,000 kilometers.
Renault automatic transmissions are quite complex. With your own hands, you can replace the oil filter and oil. If the first symptoms of an automatic transmission malfunction appear, you must immediately go to the service and make diagnostics. It is better to entrust Renault automatic transmission repair to experienced professionals.

Where is the price? 3 years ago there was no less than 500-550. I was looking for 2.0I 95g. with a beveled bell.
320-350 no problem. Last spring I found it for 200. Now sometimes they slip by 150.Only figs knows in what state.
I bought a box for disassembly from the 1.9 cdi engine, I installed everything so far)))))
and how much did it cost? if not a secret.
Today, too, trouble overtook me with the box. About two weeks ago, the clutch began to be booked. Naturally, the disk was asked for a replacement, but as usual, I don't have time, or the one who will replace it. And so I drove, fortunately, only at high speeds I skidded, so I did not press much, I hoped to wait out the frosts. But today I was driving and suddenly the fifth did not turn on. After some time, it turned on, but then stopped again. Initially, I began to sin on traction, but when I drove onto the overpass, I was convinced that everything was in order with the traction.
Then the partner turned on the fifth, but could not turn it off.
And I think the clutch began to slip due to oil getting from under the input shaft oil seal, because the whole box from below is covered in transmission oil.
Added after 2 minutes 32 seconds
Maybe someone came across a similar thing, what could be there
help with a word.
I bought a box for disassembly from the 1.9 cdi engine, I installed everything so far)))))
And I still can't catch up - in the JC5 from TDI gears are switched by traction, in PK1 from DCI - by cables.
How did you install it without problems?
And I would do this, the oil seals and bearings are not a problem, the synchronizer ring is too, the gutter probably will not be found, it is plastic, you can solder it, I did it.
this box was removed from the engine with me and the box is exactly the same as mine, so I don’t know what kind of cables there is))
At 1.9 DCI, such a box and a gearshift mechanism.
It's time to take stock. The masters told me $ 100. for the removed box, if they remove + another 100 and plus for spare parts. Naturally, any person who does this knew the diagnosis in advance, no one would have half it to me, the oil seals would not have changed, this was not necessary, the primary shaft oil seal had to be changed, because it all started with it. Regarding the grease chute, I can’t say anything either, they would have done it to me or not, maybe they would have wanted to come back to them as soon as possible, My crooked hands and a bad head punished me for $ 35 (bearing, nut, synchronizer locking ring) for those 100 that would have to be paid off for work, I bought parts. Plus 2 days. What I have gained, the experience is correct, it cannot be bought for any amount of money.
Manual gearboxes JB and JC5, installed on Renault 5-Express / 9/11/19/21 / Clio / Twingo / Laguna / Mégane Repair manual (JBO-JB1-JB2-JB3-JB4-JB5-JC5 Russian edition) Renault manual transmission release since 1980
TRANSMISSION SHAFT
The oil seal and the needle bearing rollers of the clutch guide sleeve are in direct contact with the input shaft. If the working surface is damaged, the input shaft must be replaced. The hubs of the synchronizers are mounted loosely on the output shaft and are held against axial movement by means of retaining rings. The reverse gear is supplied with the axle. The clutch release bearing guide can only be removed after removing the clutch housing. The use of a set of accessories 037MOO facilitates this operation (see pages 21-92).
GEAR SHIFTING MECHANISM
The 5th gear shift fork is equipped with two plastic pads that are lubricated from the gearbox housing groove. There are two pins located side by side on the gear shift pin.
FEATURES OF JC5 GEARBOXES
Tapered bearings are installed on the input and output shafts. The installation of the primary and secondary shafts has been changed. The guide bush is sealed by a double lip seal in the gearbox housing and clutch shaft, which can be removed without disassembling the gearbox. Reinforced gearbox and clutch housings. Increased the width of the gear teeth.
Features: Reducing the depth of the internal thread in the end of the output shaft for the 5th gear drive pinion bolt. Be sure to use the mounting bolt with a length of 27 mm.
This article will focus on another chronic sore of many Renault models: Scenic, Megane, Clio, etc. with manual transmission. Namely, gear shifting problems. This material will help fairly advanced owners who have experience in self-repairing their Renault.
Required spare parts for replacement on the example of the first generation Renault Scenic:
2. Cuffs plastic fixing (bushings) - 7700695569
3. Rubber clip (damper)
4. Reverse gear cable retainer (inside the sphere) 7711129445
5. Bellow outer 7700863684
Typical symptoms:
Complicated gear shifting, additional load for shifting. The most common problems with the inclusion of the first and second gear. Complications build up over time.
The symptomatology is influenced by the time, mileage, the presence of lubrication, as well as the unsuccessful execution of the mechanism by Renault engineers in itself.
The design developed by Renault engineers is, to put it mildly, unreliable. For the precise operation of gear shifting in the checkpoint, engineers have built a complex mechanism that requires complex precision in operation.
The following components are responsible for precise operation in the switching mechanism:
1. Rubber clip - damper
3. Fixing plastic cuffs (sleeves)
For the reasons described above (time, mileage, etc.), these mechanisms wear out rather quickly, which leads to problems with gear shifting on Meganes, Scenes and other Renault models from the Megane line.
The main problem is the plastic cuffs, which wear out first and provide vertical play.
In second place is a sphere, in third is a damper.
The Renault manual transmission backstage has other problems - the outer boot, the upper clip for the reverse gear, more on that later.
Diagnostics of the backstage problem
If your car has the symptoms described above, then first of all you need to check for the presence of vertical backlash on the gearshift knob. We also pay attention to the switching mechanism and the state of the hold-down spring.
The manufacturer Renault and representatives of the official Renault dealerships believe that in “our” case it is necessary to replace the ENTIRE mechanism, from the gearshift knob to the thrust link.
If there is a desire to save money, as well as in the presence of hands from the right place, we read the description of the repair procedure:
We disassemble the backstage mechanism. Depending on the model and modification of your Renault, the algorithm and procedures may differ, but the principle is the same throughout the line.
1. We throw off the checkpoint rod from the wings - 1 nut
2. Unscrew the mounting bolts of the gear selector housing - 4 nuts
* For some models, to complete steps 1 and 2, it is necessary to remove the exhaust pipe, cardan, disassemble the inner panel of the gearshift lever.
3. We remove the entire gearshift handle mechanism
4. One of the interesting points is the removal of the handle! Stock up on patience and a vocabulary from the obscene vocabulary.
* I advise you to find the holes on the inner sleeve of the handle and pre-widen them with any suitable metal rod. Next, we stupidly knock down the handle, but I will repeat everything through the inner sleeve.
5. Next, remove the retaining ring. We throw off the reverse gear cable and remove the locking stopper.
6. We take out the whole mechanism. It is important to remember the sequence.
7. We get to the rubber damper we need, in which “the root of evil is hidden”. Namely, it contains a sphere and two cuffs, inside the sphere there is another sleeve, they are different depending on the car model.
8. We take out the upper cuff from the rubber frame - the damper, then the sphere (it can be disassembled into two hemispheres), the lower cuff
... Important. Mark the top and bottom cuffs.
9. We remove the remnants of the old grease
10. We disassemble the sphere and put one of the halves upside down, you can all, or you can not change, the point is to find an option with the smallest vertical backlash.
11. Most importantly, we swap the upper and lower plastic cuffs. the main wear is on the lower lip.
* In more detail: We take the sphere clamped with inverted cuffs in our hands, if there is a gap, we try to turn the sphere or its halves, looking for the optimal position.
12. Putting everything together in the reverse order, as much as possible adding specials. grease. If you often repair a car, 7711126145 is suitable or any consistent thick for plastic. You can use polyflons, silicones, teflons, etc.
13. We collect everything and put it back
There is one more weak point in this mechanism - the outer anther, a thing not fatal, but still. So if you are doing repairs, prepare to replace the boot at the same time.

It is very dangerous to drive on an unheated CVT, especially in winter. As well as overheated. For frying regions, it is better to equip the variator with an additional cooling radiator. Do not drive the CVT over 160 km / h.

Renault Duster automatic transmission is a modified DP0 transmission called DP8.

The hydraulic unit really does not like dirty oil and overheating. From overheating, the metal of the plate can lead, the valves will wedge, it can break off the springs.
If the problem is started and the box has been operating for some time on dirty oil or under high pressure, then it is necessary to change the clutches. Their wear occurs evenly, even under extreme conditions, and they are changed as a set. To destroy the clutches, just a few hours of driving on an overheated box is enough. In such a situation, the brake band is usually also changed.
With aggressive acceleration and slipping, O-rings (rear covers, for example) often fail, which can also lead to oil starvation.
Since 2000, Renault Laguna has been equipped with a five-speed automatic AW55-50SN from Aisin. Initially, it was run in Volvo cars and in the first years a lot of problems and shortcomings were solved. At first, the Renault Laguna automatic transmission often suffered from the ingress of antifreeze into the oils. By themselves, the boxes from Aisin are usually ideal, but when you interfere with their settings for the cars of other engineers, non-ideal settings and modes can be selected for it.

Renault Laguna hydraulic plates did not live long before the last plate modification. There are many modifications. A common symptom of abnormal operation of the Renault Laguna valve body is premature failure of the iron due to insufficient pressure. Dirty oil can eat up the valve ports, causing the plungers to wedge and the gearbox to suffer from oil starvation. The main symptom is usually bumps and delays when shifting into third gear.
Renault Laguna hydraulic plates are usually not rebuilt.Even their diagnostics are very complicated and expensive, not to mention repairs. Therefore, it is best to periodically clean the hydraulic plate and change the oil. If the valve body is not serviced, then the abnormal operation of the valve body can damage the insides of the Renault Laguna box.
Problems with the pump follow in popularity. Usually the pump cover gland and bushing are changed. Usually they are changed when a Renault automatic transmission overhaul is required.
During the overhaul of the Renault Laguna automatic transmission, the torque converter must be repaired. For older machines, it is also necessary to replace clutches, steel discs and clutches.

The automatic transmission iron is very reliable, usually only a set of bushings is ordered. Aggressive driver can kill the rear planetary gear. The wear of the drums occurs due to the abrasion of the Teflon rings, which leads to burnout of the clutches.
These automatic transmissions in the hands of a calm and disciplined driver will drive for a very long time.
Since 2007, Renault Laguna has been equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission JF613E from Jatco. It is found on Nissan and Mitsubishi cars with engines up to 3.5 liters.
This automatic transmission is a direct competitor to Toyota transmissions, surpassing them in terms of cheapness and reliability. The term for the first overhaul usually occurs after 200,000 with a timely oil change.
This box, like all modern ones, combines an electronic control unit and a valve body in one case. This is its main problem - the more complex the node, the less reliable it is. For this class of automatic transmission, the torque converter lock is rarely activated and is used sparingly. Solenoids live longer than usual, usually before the first major overhaul. The computer and the firmware do not use the box to its fullest, thereby greatly extending its resource, which is not typical for modern machines.
DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON REPAINING!
Now you yourself can remove any scratch from the body of your car in just 5 seconds.

Nissan engineers have introduced several developments into this box that have improved acceleration and reduced fuel consumption. This kills the torque converter friction lining faster, which in turn quickly contaminates the oil. But refer only to automatic transmissions, which are exposed to unnecessary stress due to aggressive drivers.
The iron of this automatic transmission is very reliable and is designed with a huge margin of safety. The oil changes every 50,000-60,000 kilometers.
Renault automatic transmissions are quite complex. With your own hands, you can replace the oil filter and oil. If the first symptoms of an automatic transmission malfunction appear, you must immediately go to the service and make diagnostics. It is better to entrust Renault automatic transmission repair to experienced professionals.
