i need a gearbox for my ph1 19 16v , its only gunna be a trackday car used a few times a year , does any other gearbox fit the f7p? and whats the best to use for a track car? and strongest
i need to buy one in the next 2 wks ready for a trackday in april
cheers
ive seen a jc5 for sale , is it out of the megane?
i know all about the circlips, my thirst car was a ph1 19 16v and i put 3 gearboxs in it because of my heavy right foot
cheers chris , didnt even no that existed.
My local scrappy has got a complete ph2 16v in there , i can have the box for £50 , if its good its worth spending £65 more for peace of mind.
Then on the other hand , im probably just gunna kill it on the track any way !
If any one in the norfolk area wants to do a charity track day at raf marham for 70quid!, in april , search the forum on PistonHeads.com :: Speed Matters . The first time we paid 70 for the car , then sold it after for banger racing !

I know my JC5 is out of a clio 197 apparently. Looking for a replacement though. Price checked the other day and it was £439.00 with the old one swapped in.

the newer boxes, 172's, 82's etc etc all have a bolted on plate like this to prevent the circlip popping.
The boxes themselves can take power (look at gtt's) its just the diffs that can't.
Yes you need to drill and tap holes it will prevent failures, will it stop it totally thats another matter.
The main issue is when theres a high torque change the cog grips the washer and twists it popping the clip. If the washer was perhaps coated with something slippy (loads of things I can think of) then it may stop it popping, but just the plain steel and whatever oil happens to be there doesn't seem to be enough.
its on april and october each year,there taking details now on piston heads , normally me and a mate goes halves on the day and a car with no mot , and just muller it all day , but this year im spending some money on the 19 , because i think it will handle well , it would be nice to see a few more renaults there !
