Avantime Gearbox Slippage

My 2001 Renault Avantime with a gasoline engine has a gearbox issue. At 85221 kilometers, the gearbox shows slippage and unclean shifts. I suspect transfer case oil wear and defective gears. Has anyone else had this?

The 2001 Renault Avantime is experiencing gearbox slippage and unclean shifts at 85,221 kilometers. The suspected causes include transfer case oil wear and defective gears, with significant particulate matter found in the fluid, indicating mechanical wear. Suggestions include checking the oil level and condition, possibly trying a fluid change, but the presence of particulate matter suggests more extensive damage, likely requiring professional workshop intervention.

Whoa, mechanical wear at that mileage? Sounds rough! I'm no expert, but are you certain it's the transfer case and not just low or degraded gear oil? Have you checked the oil level and condition? Maybe try a fluid change before condemning the gears?

I did examine the fluid and noticed significant particulate matter, indicative of mechanical wear within the transfer case. The fluid level was also slightly below the recommended mark. Could the wear be accelerated, and would a simple fluid change suffice, or are we potentially looking at more extensive damage?

Okay, particulate matter is a bad sign. If you're seeing that, yeah, a fluid change might only be a temporary band-aid. With those symptoms, it really does sound like those defective gears are the problem. Get thee to a workshop!

I will take it to the workshop. The repair cost was 330€.
