Espace III V6 Autobox needed

Looking for an autobox for a V6 2001 espace, LM0 001
I know these are usually the failure point so getting a good s/h one is a long shot, but trying anyway.
I'd prefer one with low milage or some sort of history, as taking the engne out is not a small task.

I had a failure four years ago and had mine replaced in France by Renault. It was quite expensive.

The official procedure for replacing the box is indeed to take the whole drivetrain out. It isn't necessary, though. Also, the boxes can be renovated. When I had a failure, I found a place in Berlin, and I know others have had theirs done by the manufacturer. It does of course take the car off the road for a good while.

Anyway, good luck finding one :)
