R19 gearbox mount onto clio?

[K-09]

I can remember someone making a thread on here about fitting the R19 gearbox to subframe mount onto a Mk1 clio. Could someone link it to me please, i cant find it. Im looking into fitting one on my clio to stop the engine flexing so much.

Cheers

You don't need a guide!
All it is..
Unbolt 4 bolts and put the mount on!!

Look at the mount and you will see what bolts to remove

Here is a picture of my gearbox with the mount on,

That's the cleanest, shiniest gearbox I've ever seen!

biggest issue I have found with them is the bolt holes are empty, have been for years so need a tap run through them to clean em up.

172lover's pictures show it pretty well.

There is another brace bar as found on williams that goes over the top as well.

Thanks for the replies guys Nice clean gearbox you've got there ,mate. Feel inspired to give mine a good clean now. Just wanted to have a quick look at someones that its already been done to because ive got the rubber mount but haven't got the bracket yet. Was thinking of fabricating one but might as well just buy it to save the hastle.

Chris, does anything need to be altered with the brace bar or can you work around it? Looks like ill have to cut back the bracket on the subframe for the cold air feed and move the bracket and pipework for the steering fluid aswell.

There another 2.0 brace that goes from the rear gearbox mount(dog mount) to the gearbox.
(it's just a straight bar)

The power steering bracket(where it bolts to the gearbox) will fit fine!!!

No need to modify!!
I think.... I've a big washer to keep it out a bit....???
Or else it just bolts on fine

IMO no need to get the bracket around the gearbox(the one chris is on about!)
I'd just get the r19 mount fitted and maybe the bracket I'm on about.

You shouldn't have to cut the cold air Feed pipe either.....

yeah the bar from front to rear over the top isn't needed its just there. The reason for it was to prevent the top mount snapping the box casing.

Not all boxes have the rear hole for the bar to bolt to either.

The front mount is plug and play really, just clean the holes out with a tap first. Undo the mount thats there so you can lift the box a bit to make fitting easier. When the mounts in place let the box relax in position and just tighten it there.

Cool, cheers guys. Do you know of anybody who has a spare bracket they would be willing to sell? Ive got the mount itself just need the bracket off the box. Cant find any on ebay so it might be a trip to renault
