If you lower the n/s subframe and remove aircleaner and coolant header tank you can wiggle the gearbox out of the top-much easier than dropping the subframe

ive just changed the clutch on 1.6 petrol megane scenic and was shocked to find that the complete engine and gearbox had to be removed, i dropped the subframe and lowerd the the complete unit from the bottom, as it turned out it was quite a straight forward procedure if not a little niggily at times.
not for the novice!

Hi.
These are difficult cars to remove engine. Renault workshop repair guides (used by renault garages) suggests removal of subframe and dropping the engine with gearbox attached from below, then seperating.
It also suggests doing this just for changing the clutch
