Where to get that rubber/seal...?

[DavidN]

Does anybody know a source for the rubber cap that seals the gear-lever (?) on top of the gearbox?
Mine is split and I can't find a place to buy a spare.

BTW the original Part No is 7700520704. Renault couldn't get me that part though.

Any help would be appreciated.
(Even a good used one would do...)

Thanks,


David

Try one of the ball joint seals, not perfect but it works.

Hey Bantamallan,

Thanks for thinking out of the box!
I stripped one of my old front axle ball joints and the rubber fits pretty well on the gear lever... :smile:

Nice job with the seal

There is one ball joint dust cover that has the correct "dome" shape for the gearshift lever...here it is:
