Technical specifications and compatibility are based on Forge Motorsport product data.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFMSS9 reduces shift times along with the chance of selecting the wrong gear, making it the ideal modification for track day and fast road driving.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRenault hot hatches are well known for having a race inspired accuracy to the way they drive that allows the user to maximise their enjoyment from the road or track. However, the feeling of changing gears certainly isn’t at the same level of accuracy. FMSS9 is an\u003cstrong\u003eadjustable, well engineered solution\u003c\/strong\u003eto this problem, which makes a remarkable difference especially when changing gears at high RPM.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFitting FMSS9 is as simple as it can get for a gearbox end short shifter;\u003cstrong\u003eno specialist tools are required\u003c\/strong\u003eand most importantly the gearbox and OEM gearbox linkage stay in situ. Due to these vehicles being older, the OE linkage can be extremely difficult to remove. Therefore, keeping it in place not only saves both time and money on what would be an involved removal of the OEM gearbox linkage, but also maintains the gear weighting to ensure a smooth shift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough FMSS9 was designed specifically for the Clio 3 Renault Sport 197\/200, it will fit several vehicles that use the same gearbox (TL4). With FMSS9 being an adjustable kit, it allows for\u003cstrong\u003eup to a 32% decrease in shift length\u003c\/strong\u003ecompared to OEM. This can be adjusted closer to the OEM shift length if required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3D scanning and 3D printed prototypes helped to develop the\u003cstrong\u003ebest solution for this short shifter.\u003c\/strong\u003eThe most important part of the development for a short shifter is to ensure that the shift cables aren’t under further deflection than when connected to the OEM. The 3D Scans allowed Forge Motorsport to locate the repositioned ball pin along the same plane as the OEM, and then the 3D print helped Forge Motorsport to confirm Forge Motorsport's findings before taking the design to Forge Motorsport's\u003cstrong\u003ein-house machine shop.\u003c\/strong\u003eWhen reviewing the design, it was clear that the shift cable was going to be under tension, therefore a replacement shift cable bracket was developed for the FMSS9 kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFMSS9 bolts over the OEM shifting mechanism, meaning that installation is far easier than other gearbox end short shifters. The fullinstructionsrun through how to fit this to the Clio 3 RS platform, however the\u003cstrong\u003eTL4 gearbox\u003c\/strong\u003eis shared across other vehicles. Fitting can be carried out in around 1.5 hours with a modest tool set on your driveway\u003cstrong\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch1\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComplimentary Products\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrake Lines\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoolant\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRenault – Clio – Mk3 (2006-2012) – RS 197\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRenault – Clio – Mk3 (2006-2012) – RS 200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Forge Motorsport","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58356138213759,"sku":"FMSS9","price":194.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/torquelab.eu\/products\/short-shifter-for-the-renault-clio-3-rs-197200-fmss9","provider":"Torque Lab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
