Need R21 Renault gearbox part

Howard Jones

I need this. It's the gear drive for the speedometer for my R21. If you can help or can put me on to one then please respond. If you can only supply real name and renault part number that will help also.

As you can see the mounting flange has broken off.

Thanks in advance. Howard Jones

Hi Howard,

The Renault ref for the mechanical speedometer (R21 L485) sensor is 77 01 464 631 but it seems to be not more offered for sale.

There is surely another way to find it. The espace 2 (renault code J638) has the same speedometer system.

As the housing for the differential has the same reference as the R21 (this means they are really the same), you could switch to components for the Espace 2.

Tachymeter mechanical sensor for Espace 2 is 77 01 458 336 and it is 59.09 euros (excl vat) and it is available.

Maybe the plastic crown would have to be changed too..In any case ref is 77 00 575 418 and price 8.40 euros excl VAT, so not a big issue.

I assume this would be ok as the differential housing is the same ref as the R21 and also the ref for the full gearbox housing (77 01 464 629).

Here is a copy screen of the internal Renault sofware for parts (espace 2 displayed).

Prices are maybe a little higher today, as I didn't updated my prices list since few months, no use for them in my case...You should add 5% to have an idea...

Cheers

Stephane

I have spent hours trying to find a sorce for Renault parts here in the US. No joy. Can anybody get this/these parts for me in Europe? I would send you the money in advance so that you won't need to worry about being paid.

Does anybody in England have one of these they would part with?

Thanks LastPago that was a lot of help.

I don't know if this will help but the Lotus Esprit had a UN 1 gearbox, and I once got some shaft seals from Lotus Parts USA, I think they are in Georgia.
I am not familiar with parts interchangeability on these boxes, but it might be worth a shot.
Good Luck

Hi Howard,
phil is on the right track, but unfortunately the Esprit used an electronic speedo, so this part won't be available from a Lotus dealer, however most other service parts will be

Well not really all of them!

The UN1-26 box (93'Lotus Espirit) in my car has a mechanical speedo drive that was original to the Espirit.

Howard,

I think I have one in my spares bin.

It has a white drive gear though, regardless I'll look later today and PM you.

Try ringing Chris Cole on 01952416051 in the UK. He builds lots of Renault boxes and will have the part you want. I guess he will send overseas.

Howard,

If you want new parts, I can buy new parts here in France and send them to you.

As an ex Renault staff member, I also have a discount of 6%...not a lot but still something...;-)

Cheers
