The R10! 4 fully independent suspensions as well as 4 disc brakes, a nice push rod 4 banger (1108 cm3?) and the engine behind the rear wheels, like the 911 Porsche. A very reliable and funny car to drive. I owned a R8 Major decades ago and I can say it was a well built car, honestly manufatured. Thanks to revive this astucious Renault.

I had one of these in the UK mid 80s. The box had symptoms like yours We took the cover off the relay cover in the bonnet, saw nothing obvious. We replaced the cover and it started working, it ran fine for 2 years until the rust got it.

It is a very intricate mechanism and obviously great in theory. The Jaeger engineers must have been proud of their work I think. I wonder if anything similar was the inspiration.

Thats a good question. I'm certain they had simpler ideas, but couldn't use them for several reasons(like patents). The VW Autostick was a much simpler design-but German. Since they were French, they had to do it their own way. This was back in a time, when companies dared to be different!

I read about the terrible rust problems the Renault Dauphine had that probably made a big contribution to the poor reputation of Renault in the USA. The writer, who lived in New York, said the cars were lucky to survive one salty winter before the body looked like a paper doily and he swore you could actually hear it rusting. Even in a non snowy country like Australia, where Renaults were popular, you never see them. A terrible shame because they are interesting and different. Having said that, this transmission is mad. 😄

This has no rust, and about 17k miles. They are made of super thin steel, so if rust sets in- its over. The screwball transmission saved this one...

Old cars and automatic transmissions. ☠

Usually older Automatics are fantastic. Its when they combine electricity, metal powder as a clutch, shifter motors, and design a brand new system.. This creates problems. Now Subaru years later used a powder clutch CVT automatic.. They got the kinks out.
