guys i dont know what to say. i have a renault cleo 2003 model automatic transmission. ever since i changed the timing belt the vehicle has no pulling power what-so-ever. and i used to get so pissed and used to step really hard on the accelerator. ive done that a coupe of times and ever sice my gear box has gone for a toss. now everytime i step on the gas i hear a big grinding sound and the shift from 1st to second is hard and noisy. fortunately the 3rd, 4th and reverse gears are fine. Any insights to this predicament. i drive very slowly on the 1st and 2nd and then pick up speed on 3rd and 4th. im really hesitating to go to the garage because this will cost me a bomb in cash. any ideas?!!??

ah. i think i got a pretty intresting answer to my question. thanks. yes i got the picture. but now in the process ive actually ruined my gearbox by stepping hard on the gas pedal. i guess im pretty much screwed huh?. yes i know i can get back and try and get the timing right.

sounds like when you did the belt you somehow had something slip and "retarded " the cam (s) , this would give crappy performance and if first gear was weak it would show up now, get a good repair manual and get the cam/crank timing marks lined up perfectly and try again , you can do it, go for it

hi The timing could be a tooth out or the belt stress too loose. the vehicle must be taken returned to the storage the place the artwork replaced into performed to have the artwork double checked. very ideal regards Geordie

You got the belt a notch off and your cam timing isn't right anymore.
