F7R Gearbox wanted (Ireland)

[graham]

A nice chunk broke out of my gearbox on Friday :cry:.
Have a spare 16v one but if anyone knows of a JC5 (i think) please let me know. I'd also settle for a cheap diesel box.
Cheers.

The JC5 is indeed the box that came with the F7R engine.

A JB3 box from a F7P engine (clio 16v, R19 16v) will also fit fine and is pretty much the same.

What about a Megane 1.9 diesel box? Will it fit and what's the ratio like?

 

[The T.I.B.]

I wouldn't even if it does fit cos the ratios will all be too tall cos it's a diesel

the JB3 boxes should be common enough no?

 

[graham]

Have a JB3 sitting there, would just like something slightly taller and stronger. Hence why I'm looking for a JC5.

 

[The T.I.B.]

The JC5 is no taller. In fact an early JB3 is taller.

As for stronger, well who's to say?
